Thiago Silva - SPENCER / SIPA

Thiago Silva (35), at the end of his contract with PSG at the end of the season, does he still have the hope of extending the adventure? "It does not depend on me, it will depend on the club," he told AFP. “I'm super quiet in my head at this level. I try to think about the things I have to do, achieve the team's goals. After that does not depend on me, it will depend on the club ”, he declared in an interview, before disputing what promises to be his last exit in the Parisian jersey during the“ Final 8 ”of the C1 , which begins August 12.

"I keep my group behind me, that's the most important thing"

“Whether I have to stay or go, it's God's will. Frankly, I'm calm in my head because I try to do everything to help the team. I keep my group behind me, that's the most important thing, ”he added. The Brazilian defender, at the club since 2012 but at the end of his contract at the end of the season, extended last June by two months to be able to play the quarter-final of C1 against Atalanta Bergamo.

Leonardo hasn't changed his mind

"The truth, (is that) I did not want to leave, but the decision has been taken, I respect it and I will respect it until the end", he declared at the end of July, on the eve of the final of Coupe de France against Saint-Etienne. For his part, the Parisian sports director Leonardo evacuated the subject Wednesday during an informal exchange with the press: “This is the position. We made a decision, it was communicated. But today, we think of the Champions League. This is the priority. "

Thiago Silva wants to play the 2022 World Cup

In Paris or elsewhere, Thiago Silva believes, even at the age of 35, to be far from having finished his career, which he sees stretching at least until the next World Cup. “Even though I want to play until I'm 40, I think I can do it,” he told AFP. “But that will depend on where I'm going to play, on my physique too. I try to prepare myself to go all the way. It is very important to motivate myself every day to have the opportunity to continue until the World Cup-2022 in Qatar. I'm already starting to prepare for this. "
