Thiago Silva

Thiago Silva managed to reach dizzying football heights, becoming the highest-paid defender in Europe. The Brazilian is also the leader of one of the strongest clubs in the world - Paris Saint-Germain. However, it was not easy to climb the sports Olympus. The footballer suffered setbacks, but boldly went forward.

You can't envy Thiago's early biography. The footballer was born in the slums of Rio de Janeiro in an incomplete poor family. The mother brought up two more children, a son and a daughter. In the interview, the woman admitted that fate miraculously gave Thiago a chance at life - wanted to have an abortion, knowing that with the birth of the third child, the already miserable existence will become simply unbearable.

But legally getting rid of the fetus in Brazil is not so easy, it requires good reasons. The athlete owes his appearance to his grandfather, who managed to persuade his daughter not to take sin on his soul.

The family lived in a crumbling house where three children shared one room. Thiago, who grew up in a criminal area, since childhood led friendships with bad companies. He says that only faith in God saved from the last steps to the abyss. And football - from morning to night the boy drove the ball with a neighbor, another future celebrity David Luiz.

Over time, football turned into a real passion, Silva lit up with a dream to make a sports career. At the age of 14, the teenager joined the ranks of the wards of the Campo Grande school, which was overseen by Fluminense FC. But he couldn't resist. After he got to Barcelona (Rio de Janeiro) and turned into a fan of The Catalan "Barca", with delight followed the successes of Ronaldo and Romario.

Adult football burst into Thiago's life in 2004. The young man took up the unremarkable Juventude. The talented Brazilian, who took the position of defender on the pitch, began to pay attention to European clubs.

Even Bruno Conti of Roma looked at the player, but was refused by Silva. Not waiting for the final of the first season in the top division of Brazil, the guy went to Portugal, where he began to defend the honor of the reserve team Porto. The transfer value was 2.5 million.

The young man never made it to porto, where Pepe and Jorge Costa were in defence. But he befriended his future agent Jorge Mendes, who threw a tempting, but very unusual offer - to move to Russia. So Thiago Silva was in the dynamo Moscow.

The footballer was extremely unlucky. The Brazilian received admiring praise from the coach of the "white-blue" Oleg Romantsev at the debut training session. The only thing I didn't like was That Thiago quickly got tired. It turned out that the athlete has an open form of tuberculosis. He spent six months in a Moscow hospital.

The footballer had mixed impressions about Russia. On the one hand, I am disappointed that I failed to play with the Russians, and on the other hand, I am grateful for the care and attention - the general director of Dynamo, Yuri zavarzin, patted on the fact that the footballer's mother came to the Russian capital.

Two years later, one incident was damaged by the attitude towards Russia. In 2006, the recovering Brazilian club Dynamo released with the world, having terminated the contract. But later, after learning about the purchase of the player by AC Milan for 10 million, the organization started a legal conflict. The Muscovites sued Silva for the arbitrary termination of the contract and demanded to return the allegedly prescribed backsliding in the amount of 15 million euros. The court dismissed the claim.

After a failed career in Russian soil, Thiago returned to his homeland, where he was taken back by Fluminense FC. Here the young man finally turned around. Rapidly gained form, fiercely held the defense, for which he received the nickname "Monster."

The prize-winning piggy bank sparkled with the Brazilian Cup. Then the country called a player to the national team, and in 2008 Silva won bronze at the Olympic Games, and four years later the team brought silver.

Soon the Brazilian defender acquired Silvio Berlusconi from his AC Milan. Tall and light (at a height of 183 cm athlete weighs 79 kg), besides incredibly talented Thiago fell in love with Alessandro Nestu and Paolo Maldini. The latter, who led the team, even named the Brazilian as his successor.

Silva took the lead with 93 appearances for AC Milan and scored three goals. The team became the champion of Italy, and also won the Super Cup of the country. Thiago was going to stay at the club for a long time, but he was bought in 2012 by Paris Saint-Germain, offering Berlusconi an excellent price - €42 million.

At PSG, the player got a t-shirt with the number 2. He quickly adapted to the team, began to lead the defense. Together with his team-mates he won 15 trophies, including four French League Cups. He dreams of being in the champions' place in the Champions League. The Brazilian has a contract with the Parisians until 2020.

The footballer is not free for a long time. Thiago's wife's name is Isabelle, the girl gave her husband two children - sons Isago and Iago.

Isabelle is the support and support of the athlete, all decisions the couple makes together. In 2009, the Brazilian defender was at AC Milan at the request of his wife. Real Madrid claimed him, but she rejected the prospect of settling in Spain, preferring Italy.

The footballer regularly leads a page in "Instagram" and does not skimp on photos and videos with moments from professional and personal life.

In 2017, Thiago Silva combined his work at PSG with training with the Brazilian national team, which claimed to participate in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. In the qualifying match against Bolivia, the Brazilian suffered a serious injury, asking for a substitute in the 29th minute. The player left the field on a stretcher.

Silva was included in the national team, and in June 2018 he went to Russia. The team passed the group stage brilliantly, beating Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia. In the game against the Serbs, Thiago scored the second goal. In the 1/8 final, the Brazilians defeated Mexico to reach the quarterfinals, where they met with the Belgian national team.

Not without dramatic moments within the team. Thiago Silva played fair play during the game against Costa Rica and returned the ball to his opponent after one of the players knocked him off the field.

The Costa Rican did so because of Neymar lying on the lawn so that medical officials could assist the Brazilian striker. But Neymar himself was dissatisfied with Silva's feire-play principles and insulted his team-mate.
