£35m Wolves star posts on Instagram after amazing exploits yesterday, Rafael Leao responds

Yesterday saw Fabio Silva put in a truly fantastic performance for the Portugal U21s against Belarus.

The 21-year-old started for his country in their latest Euro qualifier.

And Silva made a tremendous impact.

The Wolves striker produced an amazing 45-minute display, in which he scored two goals and laid on two wonderful assists.

Both of Silva’s assists were backheels, indicating his brilliant awareness.

This haul of goal contributions came just days after Silva scored and assisted against Andorra.

And now, Silva has marked his latest outing with an Instagram post…

Fabio Silva posts on Instagram after tearing apart Belarus U21s, Rafael Leao responds

Inevitably, Silva has posted on social media following his amazing display yesterday.

Silva is quite a keen Instagram user, and so he was always likely to post about getting four goal contributions in one game.

Uploading four photos, he wrote: “Good win! ‘Because God is bigger than our heart and knows all things’ 1 João 3:20.”

Silva garnered a fairly big response on his post.

A number of his Portugal U21 teammates replied.

But there was also acknowledgment from AC Milan star and senior Portugal ace Rafael Leao.

Leao, who was on Wolves’ transfer radar once upon a time, commented ‘Exactly bro’, along with a heart emoji.

Great to see from Silva

After Silva had struggled for Wolves against Crystal Palace, this was exactly what Wolves fans wanted to see.

£35 million striker Silva was outstanding against Belarus, and hopefully he will take real confidence away from his display.

It is now time for him to step up for Wanderers.

Gary O’Neil has been giving him chances. He just needs to start being a little more ruthless in front of goal in old gold.
