Martinelli reveals Thiago Silva advice after Brazil call-up | OneFootball

Called up by the Brazilian National Team after João Pedro’s injury, Martinelli revealed that he received advice from Thiago Silva before beginning his first experience with the senior squad. In an interview with the CBF, the Fluminense midfielder said that the defender, who worked with Carlo Ancelotti at Milan, shared some information about the Italian coach. “The other day, Thiago, who worked with him at Milan, talked to me and told me a few things. This moment is very important in my career, and I hope to help the boss and all my teammates on the national team a lot,” he said. Martinelli also highlighted Fluminense’s importance in his journey to the national team. “It’s the club that made me a man, that made me a player, that gave me this opportunity to show my football. (…) It was the gateway that allowed me to show my football, my worth, so that one day I could make it to the national team,” he said. Brazil faces Australia again this Tuesday at 7 a.m., and then takes on India on Saturday (3) at 11 a.m. Martinelli returns to Fluminense after the friendlies.
