Sixteen years after leaving Fluminense, Thiago Silva recently made his big return to the Brazilian club. Just after finishing his four-year contract with Chelsea, the central defender returned to help the Rio de Janeiro-based club, which was struggling in the league.
Since the former Paris Saint-Germain player returned, Fluminense have won three matches, each time by the same score (1-0). “Thiago Silva is a king, we will never forget him,” even the fans celebrated his comeback in the legendary Maracaña stadium.
Thiago Silva is dying of heat under the Brazilian sun
Despite this series of three consecutive victories, Thiago Silva has complained about the schedule of matches in his native country.
“For God’s sake, we can’t play at that time (11am). People need to question themselves.”he wrote on social media after the victory against Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday.
By late morning, temperatures can exceed 30 degrees. “Leave aside what will benefit the people who organize this (matches so early). It’s even inhuman. We train at 9 a.m. to escape the heat at 11 a.m. It’s complicated.”concludes the one who is nicknamed “O Monstro”.
