5 things you need to know about 'Ronaldo's heir' Andre Silva

#5 He’s a big FIFA fan – but is he any good?

Andre Silva was not at all happy about his FIFA 17 ratings

Like many footballers, he enjoys his spare time playing video games, and FIFA in particularly. Just how good he is at the game is debatable, though.

Speaking before the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in 2015, team-mate Ivo Rodrigues laughed: “I’m always beating him on the PlayStation. Out of every 10 games we play, I win eight and it makes him cry!”

Silva hit back: “That’s not true. We played a tournament the other day between all of us and I won it, having knocked him out in the Round of 16. He’s a big fibber, he’s rubbish on the PlayStation.”

He will certainly not be pleased with his 74 rating in the game’s 2017 edition and should be substantially upgraded when the new version arrives in September.
