Thiago Silva on the way to a thousand matches

«The possibility of reaching a thousand games is incredible, I don't know how many players have achieved it, but it's something unique. It says a lot about Thiago's career, what he has done in the past and what he continues to do, because he remains a high-level player. He proves this every time he steps onto the field wearing the FC Porto jersey. The opportunity to reach this milestone tomorrow is fantastic, but I am sure his priority is to help the team move forward.»

«He is going through a very difficult personal moment, but he is an elite player, an incredible leader, leading by voice and even more by example. Since he returned to be with the team, he has always had the right attitude and energy. It is yet another reason to compete and help the club achieve its goals.»
