He always came to me and tried to push me so I could improve and focus on what I can control. And he always told me that I could be important.\" Fabio Silva emphasized that Felix has been a close friend to him throughout the season. Felix Nmecha recounted Fabio Silva's words before the match: \"He told me before the match. He said that if he scored, he would come to me.
