Fábio Silva on life in Germany, his Dortmund career to date and claiming silverware With Serhou Guirassy currently a doubt to feature for Borussia Dortmund today against TSG Hoffenheim , the opportunity to lead the line could fall into Fábio Silva's favour. However, life at the Westphalian giants took a little getting used to for the Portuguese star. "Of course, it's different because I'm from Portugal.
I've been in Spain already, so I love Spain. I'm a person who likes contact, I like to feel a little bit of that connection," Silva said, in an interview with the Bundesliga's official website. "German people are a little bit different at that point, so I have to learn on that point too.
I think I don't need too much adaptation wherever I go because I've been in a lot of countries throughout my career. "It's easy here because since I arrived, all the people in the club, the fans, the people around the city give me a lot of love, a lot of support, and these things are the most important," he added. With only a fraction over 700 minutes of Bundesliga football under his belt, it's safe to say the 23-year-old's Dortmund career hasn't taken flight just yet.
Regardless, Silva is confident in his abilities and displays so far. "I think my journey so far has been really good. I think I arrived, of course, not in the best shape.
