Thiago Silva celebrates Fluminense win and 200th match: "Means a lot" | OneFootball

This Saturday, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão, Fluminense hosted Atlético-MG at Maracanã and won 3-0. The match was special for defender Thiago Silva, as he reached the mark of 200 games for the Rio club.

“We played a great game today. A complete game. It was an important milestone for me, but I told the players that we have to value the moment, to do what we love, I didn't ask for the victory. I wanted a good performance from the team,” he said.

The defender, who missed the last round against Sport, complained about false news about his physical condition.

“Physically I'm fine. But we know our bodies. In the last game I felt discomfort at the end. I preferred to miss one game only. Then, they started looking for news. I just ask people to be responsible when passing on the news. Just talk to  the club,” he declared.

Fluminense returns to the pitch against Mirassol, next Wednesday (8), at 9pm, at the José Maria de Campos Maia Stadium, for the 13th round of the Brasileirão.
