Mourinho Comments on Bernardo Silva's Fitness Ahead of New Season

Real Madrid's manager, Jose Mourinho, has indicated that midfielder Bernardo Silva is not in optimal physical condition as the new season approaches.

Silva, who recently joined Real Madrid on a free transfer after leaving Manchester City, made his debut in a friendly match against Ferencvaros, where he came on as a substitute at halftime. Mourinho noted that Silva is still working to regain full fitness following his summer break.

Mourinho acknowledged Silva's importance to the team but mentioned that the player returned from vacation in poor shape and needs to improve. During the match, Mourinho adjusted Silva's position on the field due to concerns about his physical strength, moving him to a more advanced role. Silva expressed satisfaction with his debut and is optimistic about being ready for the La Liga opener against Espanyol later this month.
