Brazil skipper Thiago Silva says he in full support of seeing former teammate Clarence Seedorf at the Milan helm: “I am of fan of his.”
The Dutchman played alongside the Brazilian for three seasons at San Siro, before both departed at the end of the 2011-12 campaign.
“He is a great Coach and a Coach with a lot of intelligence,” the defender has told Football Italia’s South African correspondent Rossella Marrai, during Brazil’s Gillette Global tour.
“He can change a lot of things at Milan. I am a fan of his, above all, because he is a friend.”
Thiago Silva also featured for 90 minutes during Brazil’s 5-0 demolition of Bafana Bafana on Wednesday evening at Soccer City, a fixture which marked the passing over of South Africa’s host nation duties to Brazil.
“We played well, we played a beautiful game,” continued the Paris Saint-Germain player.
“We finished some perfect training sessions and now I am concentrating on the Champions League and the French League and finishing the season off well.”
The international friendly against African opposition was also deemed as preparation for Brazil’s final Group A match against Cameroon in the World Cup.
And the 29-year-old says his Selecao teammates have to be wary of what the Indomitable Lions can do.
“All the African teams in the World Cup are good teams who play well, therefore, we have to be cautious.
“Cameroon is a team who likes to play with the ball and doesn’t like to mark players. We now have to prepare well and study them well.”
