Nesta: Thiago Silva can help Brazil chase World Cup glory

Alessandro Nesta believes that Thiago Silva, the central defender from FC Porto, can be crucial for Brazil to win the 2026 World Cup. In statements to the media, the former central defender also recalled sharing the locker room with Thiago Silva at AC Milan:

«We played together for six years at Milan. When he arrived, he was very young. But very intelligent, fast, and technical. He's a bit older now, but it's about playing for a month, the World Cup doesn't last six months. And, for me, Thiago can help Brazil try to win».

«I think it's normal to have a coach from another country. For me, you are very lucky, Ancelotti is the best coach you could have. He is a special coach», Nesta also said – present in Brazil to promote the Legends Cup – about Carlo Ancelotti.
