The famous Brazilian defender Thiago Silva, 41, completed his 200th game for Frumenense yesterday and helped the team beat Atletico 3-0. He was interviewed on the sidelines after the game.

Talking about physical condition

Tiago Silva: "I feel good physically. I felt uncomfortable at the end of the last game and I asked to be replaced. I would rather miss one game than five games. Then they start spreading the news that it is a sequelae, it is this or that, but it is actually just a groin problem. I just want people to be more responsible when spreading the message. Then I start hearing a lot of things saying that I'm old and easily injured, and such misinformation makes me feel sad.

"Sometimes we hear something bad: you're not the leader, you're not the captain, you don't scold... The words don't have to show you, but it's inside us. We have done a lot of self-criticism internally. The team is very dedicated. Is it possible to return to the Brazilian national team?

Thiago Silva: "This is a natural result of the development. He (Ancelotti) once publicly stated that Thiago Silva does not need to be tested. If he needs me, I opened the door to him. But if he doesn't, life should continue.

"Of course, participating in another World Cup will have a perfect ending, because my contract is just about to end the World Cup, so many ideas do come to mind. Just imagine ending your career as a world champion on the last day of your contract? What a wonderful ending that would be. ”
