Farioli: Thiago Silva’s speech left the dressing room in tears | OneFootball

Statements from Francesco Farioli, FC Porto coach, at the press conference after the draw at Estádio do Dragão against Sporting:

Can FC Porto help Thiago Silva return to the Brazil national team and play in the World Cup?

“In our first conversation, he told me that playing one more World Cup for Brazil is a dream he has. We hope to provide him with the best platform to convince Ancelotti to call him up. Today I told him to speak before the game. He gave a speech and almost all of us left the locker room with tears in our eyes. He is 41 years old and still takes notes on what we discuss and asks questions about football. He is very humble. For me, as a young coach, it is a privilege to work with a player like him. I hope he helps us achieve our goals and that we can give him the opportunity to be part of the Brazil squad at the World Cup.”
