Eight seasons spent at PSG, with lots of success on the national level, and a lot of disillusionment on the European scene. Thiago Silva played the QSI version of Paris Saint-Germain, before leaving at the end of his contract, against his wishes. Is this why he harshly judges the progress of his former team today? In an interview with the Guardian, the 39-year-old Brazilian defender had a tough time.
“Look, nothing happens overnight. You’re not going to achieve everything just because you have a lot of money. That’s not how football works. If you don’t have a clear plan of what you want, things won’t work. Above all, you must be respected inside your country to be respected outside. We didn’t do that. We did the opposite. We wanted to be loved abroad, but we did nothing to be respected at home”, he said. A nice sliding tackle.
