The best centre-back ever?

Two months ago, it was widely rumored that Paris had launched a contract renewal plan, and everything seemed to be moving in the direction of "everyone is happy". The Brazilian captain did not wait for his contract renewal.

Before that, Tiago Silva said more than once that he was "energetic", but now he can only recognize "empty joy". Under the threat of time, although he has not become a burden to Paris with minor injuries in recent years, however, the high annual salary, the sharp reduction in the number of games and the 36-year-old age are all subconsciously promoting the determination to change blood in Paris. This is an unwritten rule, and very few people rest easy.

Even though Silva has been labeled "evergreen" in previous seasons.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Paris and Silva parted ways. Previously, the team history shooter Wang Cavani has really performed that Paris is young. Diallo, 24, Corell, 23, and Jin Pembe, 24, are not comparable to Silva in starlight, but the greatest advantage of young people is the opportunity in the future.

It is not clear whether Paris is willing to let the young players take the lead next season, but Silva's departure has directly created room for growth for future generations.

There are many people who feel sorry for Silva. Dugarry, who always likes to criticize Paris, said: "in my opinion, Silva is the top 10 centre-back in the world." in fact, foreign media have long verified that the highest-rated Ligue 1 player in the past decade is Silva, and "steady" is the best close-up for Brazilians, which is why the transfer scandal about him has never stopped since playing in Paris.

"give way" ≠ "give way", Silva, 36, has no room to live in Paris, but he also insists that he belongs to Europe and does not want to stop. "Alves has given me a lot of football inspiration," he said. In fact, he publicly spoke about the 2022 World Cup six months ago. He stayed in Europe not to prove that Paris had made mistakes, but to preserve the best of himself more completely.

There are not a few clubs interested in realizing his beautiful vision, including Everton, Juventus, Napoli and AC Milan. Of course, this is not because of emotion, but because of strength. Alves, who was born in 1983, won the most valuable player in the Copa America last year. Silva, who is 1 year younger, deserves a vote of confidence.

The data of 1.4 steals, 1.2 interceptions and 2.5 rescues per game also proved his "immortal" attribute.

Having a dream is based on his warm blood, while his appeal is based on his unhappy football career when he was a teenager.

In order to focus on football, he decisively dropped out of high school, but Fluminense, who had been training him, failed to complete the junior brocade with a professional contract. When the frustrated Tiago moved from winger to midfield to defender, fate also extended an olive branch to him in the story of "turning backwards". Although it lags behind other Brazilian stars when they become famous when they are young, it is not a very successful life.

Silva, who was illuminated by the spotlight, began to look forward to studying abroad.

He wasted his time in the reserves at Porto and at Dinamo he spent a lot of time in hospital with tuberculosis.

At the age of 20, which was supposed to be the age of great strength, Silva came up with the idea of retiring. Under the reference of his peers, Silva, with his head down, could only curl up in Brazil, even colder than in icy Moscow, because he had to face questioning and ridicule, and he was not sure how long his "next time" would have to wait.

Fluminense, who had defeated his psychological line of defense, gave him the belief of rebirth this time, from the Brazilian Cup champion to the South American Libertadores Cup runner-up. Silva, who has lost his green appearance, has been re-examined by more and more giants, and the halo of Brazil's guard of the year has duly elevated his image.

Selected for the national team, participated in the Olympic Games, transferred to a big club, in 2008 this year completely recovered the sadness of the past, but also completely paved his Avenue of Stars.

Although he only played for Milan for a short period of 119 games, he set an example and wrote the sunset song of the giants together, but it was this short time in Apenning that restored the real Silva. Just imagine, Paris dared to spend 42 million euros eight years ago. Perhaps some people are asking why Silva was absent in the 2014 World Cup semi-final.

Perhaps he is also regretting his suspension due to an unnecessary foul against Colombia in the 1 game, which has been a sore point in Silva's national team career.

The only way to drown bitter memories is to fill them with sweetness. During the eight years at Prince Park, seven Ligue 1, four French Cups and five League Cup champions have been filled with pride in his heart and made him a leader in central defense. so when the farewell is irreparable, he is more likely to look forward to the next passionate years, but it is different from going home when he was young.

This time Silva's courage in playing the game with the years is well known: "I still have a lot of goals to achieve in Europe." former teammate Ibrahimovic is still condescending in Milan, and Silva's ambition to be a pass should also be encouraged and fulfilled.
