The Rangers Portuguese striker has ensured the Scottish side really want to reach the 'quarter' of the Europa League
After performing well in Luz, Fabio Silva was decisive again when he scored in Rangers' 2-0 win over Hibernian in the Scottish Cup. Another morale booster in light of the reception that Benfica will face, next Thursday, in the second leg of the round of 16 of the European League.
“If we win, it will be a big step forward in the competition. We will reach the quarter-finals,” said the Portuguese striker, who has been in Glasgow since January on loan from Wolves. With the clash with the Reds, the player representing FC Porto looks confident. “In Europe, it's easy to have that mentality because everyone wants to play these matches. You don't need motivation to play these matches. We can do great things this season,” he said with conviction.
“For Rangers and everyone, it's a big step. For the club and the players, everyone wants to be at that stage. So we will be ready for Thursday's game. It will be a good game, and these games will happen. Always special. At Ibrox, even more so,” confirms Fabio Silva, 21 years old, who leaves a warning for his teammates. “We still have a lot of matches to go. Everyone must change their mentality to be ready to play as we want in all competitions. After the match against Benfica, we all talked together in the dressing room. We tried to tell everyone.” This: We must have this ambition in all competitions, not just the European League.”
