The former Paris Saint-Germain defender made a small update regarding his public image.
Often mocked for his propensity to burst into tears on the pitch, Thiago Silva does not appreciate being reduced to this image of a “whiner”. While his potential return to Brazil is announced by certain media, the Chelsea central defender who passed through Paris Saint-Germain defended himself about his personality.
“ Today, for Brazil, I am considered a crybaby, he regretted in comments given to ESPN. I don’t think I’m better known in Europe than in Brazil, but I think I’m a little more respected here than there, that’s for sure. I battled tuberculosis and almost died. It made me very strong. And crying is not for weak people. I am a courageous person, and I have always been very courageous in my life“.
Thiago Silva notably referred to the 2014 World Cup, which remains a trauma for many aficionados in Brazil.
