Thiago Silva admitted that it felt like a derby for him playing against Inter, and dedicated Fluminense’s victory to the AC Milan fans.
It would be fair to say that the Brazilian side emerged as surprise winners in their FIFA Club World Cup last 16 game against Inter. They were not the favourites to go through to the quarter-finals but they did, and they will face Manchester City’s conquerors Al-Hilal.

German Cano gave them a perfect start, heading home inside five minutes. After withstanding a barrage of pressure from the Nerazzurri, Hercules scored a curling shot from the edge of the box to make sure of the victory.
Thiago Silva reiterates love for Milan
After the game, Thiago Silva – who joined Milan from Fluminense in 2009 and stayed for three year – spoke to DAZN to reveal his emotions. He couldn’t help but give a mention to the Rossoneri and the fans who still love him dearly. His comments are via MilanNews.
Thiago, how do you feel?
“I’m happy with the match we played, it’s not easy to play like this against Inter. We knew it would be difficult, defensively we played a good match, even though we weren’t able to play with the ball as we are used to because they were pressing and it was very hot. But I’m happy.”
Did you ask around about Inter?
“I’m passionate about football and this week I called Allegri, who I’m very good friends with. I asked him about Inter, he spoke highly of them as a team, because he respects them a lot. He gave me good information!”
And did you talk about Milan?
“We didn’t manage to talk about that, we didn’t have much time. But I told him that in January, if I can, I’ll come and see him and Ibra.”
The Milan fans will enjoy this…
“I’m sure that Milan fans appreciated this win. I dedicate this victory to them as well, I thought of them the entire game.”

Generational inter hate watch this season
It’s a good job, Inter don’t want players from ClubBruggA, negotiations with them coupled with what Inter have endured this season may very well lead to fatalities
In other news, is anyone else enjoying the sh*thousery of that little dipsh*t Hakan in Inter? What a lowlife. The sooner he fu*ks off to that savage wasteland league, the better.
Oh yes loving every bit of it, successful hate watch on inter this season
It’s funny that they expected loyalty from that snake, especially after they saw how he treated us.
That’s because they left us for them.
They thought that they were “special”.
We all see now that they indeed have special needs.
Entertaining for sure. Hope we’ll see more drama coming out of that… 😀 😀 😀
Someone wearing the racism cap today.. or is it a MAGA cap inside out
I think he was referring to the league, which if we are honest is rather savage with owners storming the pitch and attacking referees (probably due to rampant corruption and said owner knowing he’s getting screwed).
He’s talking the truth, and Hakan hasn’t done anything to prove him wrong. Hakan Sukur would also agree with that
Turkey is nice but football there is a whole different world. Savage to say the least.
