Thiago Silva hails Fluminense reaching Copa do Brasil semi-finals | OneFootball

Fluminense managed to reverse the result against Bahia and is now in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. The Tricolors won 2-0, this Wednesday, at Maracanã. The hero of the match was defender Thiago Silva, who scored the second goal for the Cariocas. The experienced defender praised the team's performance.

"I'm happy because we work hard all week. The dedication, the fight of everyone. I spoke to them at the beginning, regardless of what happens, give it your all. But I didn't know it would be this beautiful for me. Last year against Grêmio it was like this. But I don't want to go without a title. I believe this will be my last year," he told SporTV.

Thiago Silva talked about the goal, which is his trademark when he goes on the attack.

"I do this a lot. Lucas Moura and Neymar know this well. I run in and it's very hard for the defender to stop me. Jean Lucas was marking me, but he left the front for me to run. I had a huge pain in my neck because of the training. I said that the training was worth it," he declared.

Fluminense is waiting for its opponent in the semifinal, which will be a Carioca. Botafogo and Vasco will duel this Thursday, at Nilton Santos.
