On 9 March 2023, Gomes cited in L'Équipe Silva's ability to switch positions as an inspiration: "I feel comfortable playing in midfield or more attacking positions, I don't really have a preference [...]. The best in this role is Bernardo Silva. I first look at his presence, he looks a bit like me in size [...]. He's everywhere on the pitch, he's brave, he doesn't hide and always makes himself available to his team."{{cite news |language=fr |url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Angel-gomes-lille-le-meilleur-a-ce-poste-c-est-bernardo-silva/1384932 |title=Angel Gomes (Lille) : " Le meilleur à ce poste, c'est Bernardo Silva " |last=Lafont |first=Romain |date=9 March 2023 |newspaper=L'Équipe |access-date=7 July 2023}}
