Gary Neville has admitted he has been left in awe by Brazil captain Thiago Silva after the centre-back helped A Selecao reach the last 16 of the World Cup.
The Chelsea star has played all 90 minutes of both of Brazil 's games at the tournament so far, both of which they won. Those two victories have sealed their place in the knockout stages in Qatar as they look to bring the World Cup back to Brazil for the first time in 20 years.
Silva has been at the heart of their success, making six clearances, two recoveries and winning all of his aerial duels as they beat Switzerland on Monday. It was a performance that left Neville in awe of the 38-year-old.
