Among the first stars of the QSI era, Thiago Silva was recruited in the summer of 2012, he who was then playing at AC Milan. Considered one of the best defenders of his generation, the Brazilian brought his experience to PSG for eight seasons.

He also passed through PSG, the former colossus of the defense had arrived a few months before his compatriot, but had only stayed two and a half years in the club of the capital. However, he vividly remembers the time he spent with Thiago Silva, so much so that he now considers him the most impressive defender he has played with. This is what he confided to The Team, while delivering an anecdote. ” He is the most professional player I have met. His problem is that he didn’t like to lose. After a defeat, he was walled in silence. Sometimes we drove home together from the Parc des Princes and he didn’t say a word. It was boring, but that’s also why he’s always on top. He is competitive and hyper pro. »
