Thiago Silva has asserted that he's keen to prove his doubters wrong at the World Cup after sceptics questioned his decision to join Chelsea. The 38-year-old defender has helped Brazil enjoy an unbeaten start to the tournament after keeping a clean sheet against Serbia in a 2-0 win.
Following Neymar's ankle injury, the Blues defender is set to lead his nation out against Switzerland on Monday afternoon, November 28, as he looks to extend his great vein of form for club and country. Before flying to Qatar for the World Cup, Silva featured 17 times for the west Londoners.
The Brazilian captained Chelsea on several occasions and, more often than not, he was a standout performer who led by example. However, while Silva is currently enjoying life in the Premier League, he suffered a rough teething period and many doubted him.
