Thiago Emiliano da Silva(Port.-Brazil. Thiago Emiliano da Silva; September 22, 1984, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - Brazilian footballer, central defender. Captain of the French club Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazilian national team.
Biography
Thiago Silva's first adult team was Juventude, he soon attracted the attention of European clubs and went first to Porto, then in 2005 to Dynamo Moscow, which then actively purchased Portuguese and Brazilian legionnaires. Thiago was only on loan, which expired in 2007, while the contract with the Dynamo football player was valid until the end of 2008. A complaint filed with FIFA in 2007 remained unanswered, the Moscow club demands payment of 15 million euros. In Russia, Silva fell seriously ill, and therefore did not play a single game for the club:
In 2005, I was rented by Dynamo Moscow, but it was terribly cold in Moscow and I got sick. I was in the hospital for six months. I have always felt hungry. My mother said that I didn't look sick, but I couldn't move. Doctors advised me to walk, but I could not get out of bed. I was isolated from everyone, because this disease is very contagious. From time to time the doctor gave me injections, plus I ate 10-15 tablets a day. I eventually found out that I had tuberculosis for six months. The doctors said two more weeks and I would have died. I often remember that time. Then I thought about leaving football.
The then Dynamo doctor Yuri Vasilkov explained:
He began to treat tuberculosis Thiago Silva. Now they write that I saved him - and I just did my job, people who treat tuberculosis helped me. I did not save, but Russian medicine. All these Portuguese-speaking guys were brought to the collection, to see, to ride. And Thiago has a fever, he is constantly coughing - I fought for two days, nothing worked. I go up to Oleg Ivanovich: “Something serious is happening with Thiago.” And I was very afraid that AIDS could penetrate the team. I took Thiago to Lisbon and in the pictures I saw tracks in the right lung, Koch sticks - hematogenous disseminated tuberculosis. The lung is completely affected and open form. The duration of the disease is 8-10 months. That is, he fell ill long before Dynamo. I had to urgently send him to Russia. I managed to check the team on a fluorogram - thank God, there was no contact with anyone. Tuberculosis did not enter the team. I alone did not take a picture, because I was with the patient. But I felt that this does not take doctors. I am glad that Thiago is now playing powerfully in the Brazilian national team and PSG. Although he probably already forgot us.
In 2006, the defender returned to his homeland, where he played for Fluminense. He became one of the leaders of the team that managed to reach the final of the Copa Libertadores in 2008. Thanks to his game, he was involved in the Brazilian national team, in which he won the bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games.
In December 2008, Thiago joined AC Milan for €10 million. He made his debut in the 2008/09 season in a friendly game against Hannover 96. The official debut took place in the match against Siena at the start of the 2009/10 season. In general, he spent the season at a high level, making almost no mistakes, and rarely getting injured. In the summer of 2010, Real Madrid made an offer of €20 million plus Rafael van der Wart, but Milan rejected the offers, not wanting to let go of their leading defender. In November 2010, Silva told why he did not move to Real Madrid: his wife Isabelle did not want him to move.
On May 18, 2011, the player extended his contract with Milan until June 30, 2016. On November 27, in a home game against Chievo, he entered the field for the first time with a captain's armband and scored the first goal in a match that ended 4-0 in favor of Milan. In the same year, Thiago won the Golden Samba prize, awarded to the best Brazilian player playing in Europe, beating Dani Alves and Hulk in the voting.
On July 14, 2012, the player signed a contract with the French club Paris Saint-Germain for a period of 5 years.

An excerpt characterizing Thiago Silva
- Fyodor Ivanovich! he said, bowing.- Good, brother. - Well, here he is.
“Hello, Your Excellency,” he said to Anatole, who was entering, and also held out his hand.
“I’m telling you, Balaga,” Anatole said, putting his hands on his shoulders, “do you love me or not?” BUT? Now serve the service ... On which ones did you come? BUT?
- As the ambassador ordered, on your animals, - said Balaga.
- Well, you hear, Balaga! Slaughter all three, and to arrive at three o'clock. BUT?
- How will you slaughter, what will we ride? Balaga said, winking.
- Well, I'll break your face, don't joke! - Anatole suddenly shouted, rolling his eyes.
“What a joke,” said the coachman, laughing. “Will I be sorry for my masters? What urine will ride horses, then we will go.
- BUT! Anatole said. - Well, sit down.
- Well, sit down! Dolokhov said.
- I'll wait, Fyodor Ivanovich.
“Sit down, lie, drink,” Anatole said and poured him a large glass of Madeira. The coachman's eyes lit up with wine. Refusing for the sake of decency, he drank and dried himself with a red silk handkerchief that lay in his cap.
- Well, when to go then, Your Excellency?
- Yes, here ... (Anatole looked at his watch) now and go. Look, Balaga. BUT? Are you up to speed?
- Yes, how is the departure - will he be happy, otherwise why not be in time? Balaga said. - Delivered to Tver, at seven o'clock they kept up. Do you remember, Your Excellency.
“You know, I once went from Tver to Christmas,” Anatole said with a smile of recollection, turning to Makarin, who looked with tender eyes at Kuragin. - Do you believe, Makarka, that it was breathtaking how we flew. We drove into the convoy, jumped over two carts. BUT?
- There were horses! Balaga continued. “Then I banned the young slaves to kaury,” he turned to Dolokhov, “do you believe it, Fyodor Ivanovich, the animals flew 60 miles away; you can’t hold it, your hands were stiff, it was cold. He threw the reins, hold, they say, Your Excellency, himself, and so he fell into the sleigh. So after all, not only to drive, you can’t keep to the place. At three o'clock they told the devil. Only the left one died.
Anatole left the room and a few minutes later returned in a fur coat girded with a silver belt and a sable hat, smartly put on the hips and very fitting for his handsome face. After looking in the mirror and in the same position that he took in front of the mirror, standing in front of Dolokhov, he took a glass of wine.
“Well, Fedya, goodbye, thanks for everything, goodbye,” said Anatole. - Well, comrades, friends ... he thought ... - youth ... my, goodbye, - he turned to Makarin and others.
Despite the fact that they all rode with him, Anatole apparently wanted to do something touching and solemn from this appeal to his comrades. He spoke in a slow, loud voice and wiggled his chest with one leg. – Everyone take glasses; and you, Balaga. Well, comrades, friends of my youth, we drank, we lived, we drank. BUT? Now, when shall we meet? I will go abroad. Live, farewell, guys. For health! Hurrah! .. - he said, drank his glass and slammed it on the ground.
“Be healthy,” Balaga said, also drinking his glass and wiping himself with a handkerchief. Makarin hugged Anatole with tears in his eyes. “Oh, prince, how sad it is for me to part with you,” he said.
- Go, go! Anatole shouted.
Balaga was about to leave the room.
“No, stop,” said Anatole. “Shut the door, get in.” Like this. The doors were closed and everyone sat down.
- Well, now march, guys! - said Anatole, getting up.
The footman Joseph gave Anatole a bag and a saber, and everyone went out into the hall.
- Where's the coat? Dolokhov said. - Hey, Ignatka! Go to Matryona Matveevna, ask for a fur coat, a sable coat. I heard how they were being taken away,” Dolokhov said with a wink. - After all, she will jump out neither alive nor dead, in what she sat at home; you hesitate a little, then there are tears, and father, and mother, and now she is cold and back, - and you immediately take it into a fur coat and carry it to the sleigh.
The footman brought a woman's fox coat.
- Fool, I told you sable. Hey, Matryoshka, sable! he shouted so that his voice could be heard far across the rooms.
A beautiful, thin and pale gypsy woman, with shiny, black eyes and black, curly bluish tint hair, in a red shawl, ran out with a sable coat on her hand.
“Well, I’m not sorry, you take it,” she said, apparently shy in front of her master and pitying the coat.
Dolokhov, without answering her, took a fur coat, threw it over Matryosha and wrapped her up.
"That's it," said Dolokhov. “And then like this,” he said, and lifted the collar near her head, leaving it just a little open in front of her face. “Then like this, you see? - and he moved Anatole's head to the hole left by the collar, from which Matryosha's brilliant smile could be seen.
“Well, goodbye, Matryosh,” said Anatole, kissing her. - Oh, my spree is over here! Bow down to Steshka. Well, goodbye! Farewell, Matryosh; you wish me happiness.
“Well, God grant you, prince, great happiness,” said Matrona, with her gypsy accent.
Two troikas were standing at the porch, two young coachmen were holding them. Balaga sat on the front three, and, raising his elbows high, slowly dismantled the reins. Anatole and Dolokhov sat down beside him. Makarin, Khvostikov and the lackey sat in another three.
- Ready, huh? Balaga asked.
- Let go! he shouted, wrapping the reins around his hands, and the troika carried the beat down Nikitsky Boulevard.
- Whoa! Go, hey! ... Shh, - only the cry of Balaga and the young man sitting on the goats could be heard. On Arbat Square, the troika hit the carriage, something crackled, a scream was heard, and the troika flew along the Arbat.
Having given two ends along Podnovinsky, Balaga began to hold back and, returning back, stopped the horses at the intersection of Staraya Konyushennaya.
The good fellow jumped down to hold the horses by the bridle, Anatole and Dolokhov went along the sidewalk. Approaching the gate, Dolokhov whistled. The whistle answered him, and after that the maid ran out.
“Come into the yard, otherwise you can see it, it will come out right now,” she said.
Dolokhov remained at the gate. Anatole followed the maid into the yard, turned the corner, and ran out onto the porch.
Gavrilo, Marya Dmitrievna's huge traveling footman, met Anatole.
“Come to the mistress, please,” the footman said in a bass voice, blocking the way from the door.
- To what lady? Who are you? Anatole asked in a breathless whisper.
- Please, ordered to bring.
- Kuragin! back,” shouted Dolokhov. - Treason! Back!
Dolokhov at the gate, at which he stopped, fought with the janitor, who was trying to lock the gate after Anatole had entered. With a last effort, Dolokhov pushed the janitor away and, grabbing Anatole, who had run out, by the arm, pulled him by the gate and ran with him back to the troika.
Marya Dmitrievna, finding the weeping Sonya in the corridor, forced her to confess everything. Intercepting Natasha's note and reading it, Marya Dmitrievna went up to Natasha with the note in her hand.
“You bastard, shameless,” she told her. - I don't want to hear anything! - Pushing away Natasha, who was looking at her with surprised, but dry eyes, she locked her with a key and ordered the janitor to let through the gate those people who would come that evening, but not to let them out, and ordered the footman to bring these people to her, sat down in the living room, waiting kidnappers.
When Gavrilo came to report to Marya Dmitrievna that the people who had come had run away, she got up with a frown, and with her hands folded back, paced the rooms for a long time, pondering what she should do. At 12 o'clock in the morning, feeling the key in her pocket, she went to Natasha's room. Sonya, sobbing, sat in the corridor.
- Marya Dmitrievna, let me go to her for God's sake! - she said. Marya Dmitrievna, without answering her, unlocked the door and went in. “Disgusting, nasty ... In my house ... A scoundrel, a girl ... Only I feel sorry for my father!” thought Marya Dmitrievna, trying to appease her anger. “No matter how hard it is, I’ll order everyone to be silent and hide it from the count.” Marya Dmitrievna entered the room with resolute steps. Natasha lay on the couch, covering her head with her hands, and did not move. She lay in the very position in which Marya Dmitrievna had left her.
- Good, very good! said Marya Dmitrievna. - In my house, make dates for lovers! There is nothing to pretend. You listen when I talk to you. Marya Dmitrievna touched her hand. - You listen when I speak. You disgraced yourself like the last girl. I would have done something to you, but I feel sorry for your father. I will hide. - Natasha did not change her position, but only her whole body began to rise from soundless, convulsive sobs that choked her. Marya Dmitrievna looked round at Sonya and sat down on the sofa beside Natasha.
- It is his happiness that he left me; Yes, I will find him,” she said in her rough voice; Do you hear what I am saying? - She faked her big hand under Natasha's face and turned her towards her. Both Marya Dmitrievna and Sonya were surprised to see Natasha's face. Her eyes were bright and dry, her lips pursed, her cheeks drooping.
“Leave ... those ... that I ... I ... die ...” she said, with an evil effort she tore herself away from Marya Dmitrievna and lay down in her former position.
"Natalia!..." said Marya Dmitrievna. - I wish you well. You lie down, well, lie down like that, I won't touch you, and listen... I won't say how guilty you are. You yourself know. Well, now your father will arrive tomorrow, what will I tell him? BUT?
Again Natasha's body shook with sobs.
- Well, he will know, well, your brother, the groom!
“I don’t have a fiancé, I refused,” Natasha shouted.
“It doesn’t matter,” continued Marya Dmitrievna. - Well, they will find out, what will they leave like that? After all, he, your father, I know him, after all, if he challenges him to a duel, will it be good? BUT?
Thiago Silva was born on September 22, 1984. Start it football way it got very hard. Being a pupil of "Fluminense", Silva did not get the opportunity to prove himself. At the age of fifteen, Thiago went through a series of screenings in other clubs, but he was not taken anywhere. In 2001, the player moved to the modest RG Football and began playing professionally in the Brazilian third division. At one of the tournaments held in Italy, the coach drew attention to Silva youth staff"Roma", but the young player refused to move.
Silva managed to declare himself as part of Giventuda. The defender was called the opening of the season, and, as expected, European clubs began to be interested in him. Thiago moved to Porto, but there he played only for the reserve team. After that, the Brazilian became a player of the Moscow Dynamo, but he was immediately mowed down by a terrible disease - tuberculosis. Doctors even told Silva that if he had been admitted to the hospital two weeks later, everything could have ended. lethal outcome. The football player began to think about ending his career, but changed his mind.
In 2006, Silva returned to Fluminense and began showing football there. high level. In three seasons, Thiago became the best defender in Brazil, and therefore rumors again began to connect him with a move to many European clubs. At the end of 2008, Silva agreed to move to AC Milan. IN last match for Fluminense, the player was greeted by 50,000 fans gathered at the Maracana.
At first, Silva could not play for Milan, because the club did not have places in the application for players from outside the EU. Only in the 2009/10 season did the Brazilian make his debut in an official match and immediately won accolades. So, Paolo Maldini called Silva his follower. For three years, the Brazilian has demonstrated a reliable game in defense and helped the “Rossoneri” win the league title. In 2012, Thiago's long transfer saga culminated in his transfer to PSG. In France, the player quickly earned recognition and even became team captain. Since then, Silva has helped the Parisian club win trophies year after year.
Silva has been playing for the Brazilian national team since 2008. Thiago won the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup with the Selesao. At that tournament, he spent all five matches without substitutions, and was the team captain. A year later, Silva was one of the leaders brazilian team already at the World Cup. Interestingly, in the famous disastrous semi-final, in which Brazil lost to Germany 1:7, Thiago did not play because of the yellow cards. After the 2015 Copa América, Silva stopped being called up to the seleção, but later returned.
Thiago Silva has managed to reach dizzying heights in football, becoming the highest paid defender in Europe. The Brazilian is also the leader of one of the strongest clubs in the world - Paris Saint-Germain. However, it was not easy to climb the sports Olympus. The football player suffered setbacks, but boldly went forward.
Childhood and youth
Thiago's early biography is not to be envied. The football player was born in the slums of Rio de Janeiro in an incomplete, poorest family. Mom raised two more children, a son and a daughter. In an interview, the woman admitted that fate miraculously gave Thiago a chance at life - she wanted to have an abortion, knowing that with the birth of her third child, an already miserable existence would become simply unbearable.
But legally getting rid of the fetus in Brazil is not so easy, you need good reasons for this. The athlete owes his appearance to his grandfather, who managed to persuade his daughter not to take sin into her soul.
The family lived in a crumbling house where three children shared one room. Thiago, who grew up in a criminal neighborhood, made friends with bad companies from childhood. He says only faith in God saved from last steps to "the abyss". And also football - from morning to night the boy was chasing the ball with his neighbor, another future celebrity.
Over time, football turned into a real passion, Silva lit up with a dream to make sports career. At the age of 14, the teenager joined the ranks of the wards of the Campo Grande school, which was supervised by FC Fluminense. But he couldn't stay there. After he got to Barcelona (Rio de Janeiro) and turned into a fan of the Catalan Barca, he enthusiastically followed the successes of Romario.
Football
Adult football burst into Thiago's life in 2004. The young man was picked up by an unremarkable "Juventude". European clubs began to pay attention to the talented Brazilian, who occupied the position of a defender on the field.
Even Bruno Conti from Roma looked at the player, but was refused by Silva. Without waiting for the final of the first season in the top division of Brazil, the guy left for Portugal, where he began to defend the honor of the Porto reserve team. The transfer fee was €2.5 million.
The young man never made it to the base of Porto, Jorge Costa also stood there in defense. But he made friends with his future agent Jorge Mendes, who threw a tempting, but very unusual offer - to move to Russia. So Thiago Silva ended up in the Dynamo Moscow.
The football player was extremely unlucky. The Brazilian received admiring praise from the Blue and White coach at his debut training session. The only thing I didn't like was that Thiago got tired quickly. It turned out that the athlete had an open form of tuberculosis. He spent six months in a Moscow hospital.
The footballer had mixed impressions about Russia. On the one hand, he is disappointed that he did not manage to play with the Russians, and on the other hand, he is grateful for the care and attention - the general director of Dynamo Yuri Zavarzin lobbied for the football player's mother to come to the Russian capital.
Two years later, one incident spoiled the attitude towards Russia. In 2006, the Dynamo club released the recovered Brazilian in peace, terminating the contract. But later, having learned about the purchase of the player by Milan for €10 million, the organization started a legal conflict. Muscovites filed a lawsuit against Silva for unauthorized termination of the contract and demanded the return of the allegedly prescribed compensation in the amount of €15 million. The court rejected the claim.
After an unsuccessful career on Russian soil, Thiago returned to his homeland, where he was accepted back by FC Fluminense. Here the young man finally turned around. He quickly got into shape, fiercely held the defense, for which he received the nickname "Monster".
The piggy bank of awards sparkled with the Cup of Brazil. Then the country called the player to the national team, and in 2008 Silva won bronze at Olympic Games, and four years later the team brought silver.
Soon he acquired the Brazilian defender in his Milan. Tall and light (with a height of 183 cm, the athlete weighs 79 kg), in addition, the incredibly talented Tiago fell in love with Alessandro Nesta and. The latter, who led the team, even named the Brazilian as his successor.
As part of Milan, Silva took the lead, played 93 matches and scored three goals. The team became the champion of Italy, and also won the country's Super Cup. Thiago was going to stay at the club for a long time, but he was bought out in 2012 by Paris Saint-Germain, offering Berlusconi an excellent price of €42 million.
At PSG, the player got a jersey with number 2. He quickly adapted to the team, began to manage the defense. Together with teammates he won 15 trophies, including four French League Cups. Dreams of being in first place in the Champions League. The Brazilian has signed a contract with the Parisians until 2020.
Personal life
The football player has not been free for a long time. Tiago's wife's name is Isabelle, the girl has already given her husband two children - the sons of Isago and Iago.
Isabelle is the support and support of the athlete, the couple makes all decisions together. In 2009, the Brazilian defender ended up in Milan precisely at the request of his wife. Real Madrid claimed him, but the girl rejected the prospect of settling in Spain, preferring Italy.
The football player regularly maintains a page on Instagram, does not skimp on photos and videos with moments from his professional and personal life.
Thiago Silva now
In 2017, Thiago Silva combined his work at PSG with training in the Brazilian national team, which claimed participation in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. In the qualifying match with Bolivia, the Brazilian was seriously injured, asking for a replacement in the 29th minute. The player left the field on a stretcher.
Silva was included in the national team, and in June 2018 he went to Russia. The team went great group stage, beating Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia. In the game with the Serbs, Thiago became the author of the second goal. In the 1/8 finals, the Brazilians victoriously fought with Mexico, reaching the quarterfinals, where they met with the Belgian national team.
There were some dramatic moments within the team. Thiago Silva played by the rules during the game against Costa Rica fair play and returned the ball to the opponent after one of the players knocked it out of bounds.
The Costa Rican did this because he was lying on the lawn, so that representatives of the medical service could provide assistance to the Brazilian striker. But Neymar himself was dissatisfied with the principles of fair play shown by Silva and insulted a colleague in the national team.

Disgraced Captain
Thiago Silva forever entered the history of Brazilian football, becoming the captain of the Brazilian national team at world championship 2014. And though home tournament“Selesao”, starting for health, and ending for the rest, failed miserably, this does not beg all the virtues of Thiago as a football player. It was they, his playing and human virtues, that served to Main coach Brazil national team Luiz Felipe Scolari gave the captain's armband to the central defender, who at that time defended the colors of the capital's French club Paris Saint-Germain.
Lost World Cup “killed” morally the entire composition of the Brazilian team. BUT Thiago Silva, seems to have been the most disappointed and depressed of all. After all, he did not take part in that ill-fated semi-final match with the Germans, which received, like "Maracanaso", the common name "Mineiraso" (our captain went over the number yellow cards and remained on the bench). Most news agencies then posted on their resources Thiago in a polo shirt with a Brazilian emblem on the left chest, who calmed down a crying partner in the center of defense in the national team, David Luiz. Yes, and the captain himself, a few minutes later, wiped his mean male tears, which was also recorded by numerous correspondents.
However, Thiago's non-participation in the semi-finals did not negate criticism against him: he, along with everyone else, was blamed for the failure only because he could not play against the German national team. As the Russian proverb says, they married me without me. Here you can rephrase in the worst case - without me they accused me.
However, life went on. Carlos Dunga, who replaced Luis Felipe Scolari as Seleçao head coach, initially continued to believe in Thiago, occasionally inviting him to the national team for friendly games that the Brazilians played after the home World Cup. However, the captain's armband was taken away by the Brazilian mentor from Silva and handed it over first to Neymar, and then to the defender Miranda, who just replaced the disgraced defender and put on a T-shirt with the third number, which previously belonged to our hero.
True, it was done so vilely that remembering this, it becomes bad in the soul. Indeed, everything was done quietly, directly, as the hero of Gaidai's famous comedy "The Diamond Hand" said: "No noise, no dust." Thiago Silva was not even informed about this, let alone invited to a conversation with the leadership of the Brazilian Football Confederation, or at least with the leadership of the national team. Where everything would be explained to him and thanked for the very good performances in the national team, which were plenty. Ah, no ... After all, this is Brazil! With their mentality and their cockroaches in the heads of football leaders.
Ahead of the Brazilian national team was another significant continental tournament - America's Cup which took place in Chile in the summer of 2015. The Brazilians finished the group stage in first place, although they lost with a minimum score to the Colombian team. However, for the second consecutive Copa América, the Brazilian team stumbled over the Paraguayans in the quarter-finals. In 2011, having played in regular time without goals scored, in the penalty shoot-out, four Seleçao players who shot them failed to hit the goal of the Paraguayan goalkeeper Justo Villar. Including Thiago Silva. But two players "Albirrochs" (white-red - as the Paraguay national team is called for the color of the striped white-red T-shirts) did not miss. The situation in Chile was repeated almost with absolute indicators. Again a draw in regular time, however, with a score of 1:1, and again losing on penalties.
And again, the "scapegoat" (sorry for such a daring turn) was put up Thiago Silva. It was he who, in one of the moments when the Brazilians were leading 2:1, played with his hand in the fight for a riding ball in his own penalty area, for which the Brazilians were punished with a penalty kick, having realized which, the Paraguayan team equalized the score. Well, then there was a football lottery, which was briefly mentioned above.
A little later, around the end of 2015, Carlos Dunga completely abandoned the services of his former captain. Along with Thiago Silva, at the beginning of 2016, once the first goalkeeper of the national team Jefferson and defender Marcelo from Real Madrid fell into disgrace. Those, however, for their not entirely flattering words addressed to the chief trainador "selesao".
In the meantime, Thiago continued his excellent performances for his club, over and over again getting into the tops of the best central defenders in the world according to numerous football publications and receiving all kinds of individual titles and prizes. Everything went to the fact that he could again be in Dunga's field of vision. He could, but he didn’t, because he stubbornly continued to ignore the “Frenchman”, as a result, he did not include Silva in the application for participation in the 2016 America's Cup anniversary. And then even battered football experts and players were horrified. It is not necessary to say that Dunga did not call Thiago because of his relatively advanced (by football standards) age, since the Brazilians had much older players. The same age Thiago - Jonas, or born in 1983, Daniel Alves.
Football does not accept the subjunctive mood, and we cannot say with certainty how we would play brazil national team with Thiago Silva in the squad at the 2016 America's Cup in the USA, which she again failed miserably, without even leaving the group for the playoffs (the third tournament failed by Dunga in three years). But we can say with confidence that Thiago would have looked no worse than Miranda, Marquinhos and especially Zhil.
Century professional football player not very long, and to defend the honor of his country on numerous international tournaments, such as the World Cup, the America's Cup, the Confederations Cup - not everyone is given. Thiago Silva is one of the few who have succeeded. Moreover, in most matches, he brought the Brazilian national team to the field with a captain's armband.
After the fiasco in the United States, Dunge was replaced by the former coach of the Brazilian football club Corinthians, Tite. Will he see an ex-captain in his squad? Perhaps not. And not because he is bad now, but because the years take their toll, and Thiago Silva will turn 32 in September 2016. Majority football specialists and fans of "selesao" require a radical rejuvenation of the national team. Carlos Dunga ignored these demands with someone's significant support. But whether Tite will be ignored - we will see very soon, when at the end of August 2016 he will announce his first squad of players who will take part in two regular qualifying matches for the 2018 World Cup. True fans of Thiago Silva hope and believe that their idol will be among the elect.
Club career
Thiago Emiliano da Silva, or simply Thiago Silva was born on September 22, 1984 in Rio de Janeiro. professional career started in 2003 in the modest club "Pedrabransa" from the city of Alvorada, playing in the third division of the state championship of Rio Grande do Sul (Gaucho championship). A year later, he moved to the slightly better known Brazilian football club"Juventude", from where a year later he left for Europe to play for the second team of the famous Portuguese "Porto". The Portuguese, on the other hand, loaned Thiago to Dynamo Moscow, from where the defender returned to his homeland in 2006 to play for the eminent Fluminense club for two years.
The skill of Thiago Silva grew before our eyes. As part of the "aristocrats" (as the Fluminense players are called) in 2007, he won the Brazilian Cup and a year later he again flew over the ocean, this time to Italy, where for three seasons he played for the giant of Italian and world football - the club " Milan".
In 2012, the French football club Paris Saint-Germain began to buy great players. One of the leading positions in the team was Thiago Silva's compatriot Leandro (by the way, the world champion in 1994 as part of the Brazilian national team), who advised his bosses to look at the central defender. So our hero ended up in France, where he plays for the club indicated above until this moment, when the author of this material writes his opus.
First and Olympic teams of Brazil
Oddly enough, but it was under Dunga, when he led brazil national team In his first coming, Thiago Silva was called up for the first time in June 2008 by the Seleção for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. However, he entered the field for the first time only four months later, replacing Juan during the qualifying match against the Venezuelan national team. In the main team, Thiago went to a friendly match with the Portuguese national team, which the Brazilians won with a score of 6:2.
In August 2008, Thiago Silva was invited to the Brazilian Olympic team, which was preparing for a trip to the Games in Beijing. He became one of three football players whose age exceeded the 23 years established for the Olympians. Ronaldinho was the captain of that team, but Thiago became the captain of the Olympic team four years later in his second Olympics.
After the end of the Beijing Olympics, Thiago Silva, for reasons unknown to the author of this material, was excommunicated from the first national team of Brazil and appeared in its composition only in a friendly match with the Italians in February 2009 and in two November friendly matches. However, then he began to be called more and more often to the “selesao” and eventually became the captain of the Brazilian national team, playing for the national team of his country in 62 matches (according to other sources, there are 58 and 59 matches), scoring 4 goals in them.
At the 2014 World Cup at home, Thiago Silva scored one of two goals against Colombia in the quarterfinals, breaking a taboo that had lasted 20 years. That is how long the captains of the Brazilian national teams of the 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010 world championships did not score goals in the final stages of the world championships.
The last time Rai did it, he wore the captain's armband in three games. group tournament at the 1994 World Cup, in a match against the Russian team, won by the Brazilians with a score of 2: 0.
