Thiago Silva throws salt on Inter: "For me it was a derby. And I spoke about it with Allegri before"

CHARLOTTE (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) - The quarter-final of the Club World Cup will be Fluminense-Al Hilal . The two teams that on paper started behind beat Inter (2-0) and Manchester City (4-3 aet) respectively, giving themselves the challenge that is worth access to the semi-final. Cano and Hercules therefore eliminate Cristian Chivu 's Nerazzurri who thus close a rather disappointing season, with zero titles. In doubt on the eve, Thiago Silva took to the field regularly playing a super match: "I'm happy with the match we played, it's not easy to play like this against Inter - commented the captain of the Brazilian team - . We knew it would be difficult, defensively we played a good match, even though we weren't able to play as we are used to with the ball because they pressed and it was very hot. But I'm happy".

The 1984-born player then reveals: "I'm passionate about football and this week I called Allegri , who I'm very good friends with. I asked him for information on Inter, he spoke highly of them as a team, because he respects them a lot. He gave me good information! We didn't manage to talk about Milan , we didn't have much time. However, I told him that in January, if I can, I'll come and see him and Ibra." Thiago Silva doesn't forget his past in the red and black and for him, facing Inter was like a derby: "I'm sure that the Milan fans appreciated it: I dedicate the victory to them too, I thought about them the whole match," he concludes .
