a A total of 113 international caps, seven goals, a Copa America, a Confederations Cup and two Olympic medals, a bronze and a silver, mark Thiago Silva’s career with the Brazilian national team.
But the former Selecao captain, who has returned to Porto at the age of 41, has watched one of his sons, Iago Silva, make his England Under-15s debut this week!!!

“El Monstrue’s son plays as a central defender like his father and, like his brother Isago, plays in Chelsea’s youth team. “For me, it is a dream to see them play professionally for Chelsea. I love to see my children play here,” said Thiago Silva.
It would be a dream for me to see them play professionally for Chelsea. I love watching the kids play here
Iago, who had already participated in the training camp at the end of October, made his debut with the Three Lions in two wins against Cyprus (3-0) and USA (4-0). Iago wrote on his Instagram: “Thank you for making my debut for England. I’m hungry for more.”
It must be remembered that the fact that he played for England at Under-15 level does not detract from his international future. The Rio de Janeiro-born son of Thiago Silva could represent Brazil in the future…unless he accumulates three caps as the ‘Three Lions’ at the top level.
