Chelsea's Thiago Silva makes heartbreaking Brazil admission amid huge hint after Tite decision

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has made a heartbreaking admission over his future with Brazil after they were knocked out of the World Cup. Selecao manager Tite has resigned from his position following their shock defeat on penalties against Croatia in the quarter-finals.

Silva's form for the Blues resulted in him being called up to the Brazil squad for the tournament in Qatar despite turning 38 in September. The Brazilian has been a key figure in Chelsea's defence since completing a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020, helping the club win the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

After a frustrating 90 minutes, Neymar scored the opening goal of the game at the end of the first-half of extra-time before Bruno Petkovic equalised with just minutes left to play in the match. Dominik Livakovic proved to be the hero for his nation once again in a penalty shootout, saving Rodrygo's spot kick before Marquinhos missed to send Croatia through into the semi-finals.
