Quotes

  • “Messi is a very quick and technically gifted player. When you face him you have to make decisions in an instant. When he approaches you, you have to make the sign of the cross and pray that everything will be alright.”
  • “I learned a lot with Paolo Maldini who helped me with defensive positioning and the importance of respecting tactical schemes.”
  • “I am very happy to be considered as one of the best defenders in the world and to be mentioned alongside great footballers. It's a great satisfaction to have reached this level at this moment in my career. I know that things will get tougher soon, but I will continue to work hard to be able to maintain this level of performance.”
  • “Thiago has the physical and technical characteristics of a champion.”
  • “Thiago Silva will extend my life as a central defender.”
  • “Certainly, Thiago shows that security that characterised Franco [Baresi] when he used to play. For one reason or another, when Baresi came off during the break or during the game, we all felt his loss and I think the same thing is happening now with Thiago, because he gives so much security at the back.”
