The beautiful sport will always leave great friendships in which ties prevail regardless of the distance. This is the case of Thiago Silva and David Luiz, starting duo in the Brazilian National Team from 2010 to 2017 and that they also shared a dressing room in the PSG. Two players who will meet again on the field, after so much Globoesporteone of the most reliable media in all of Brazil, such as Fabrizio Romano, have reported that the signing of Thiago Silva for Marcelo’s Fluminense is a fact and that he will sign until 2026.
David Luiz has been playing for Flamengo since 2021, the year in which he left London after eight seasons (six at Chelsea and three at Arsenal) to join a new challenge. With Mengão he is not currently a starter, but he is one of the heavyweights in the locker room thanks to his experience and throughout his stay he has accumulated 102 games in which he has won a Brazilian Cup and a Copa Libertadores.
Colleagues in the national team and in Paris
In the national team they were the starting couple for seven years and have managed to win a Confederations Cup after winning the Spanish selection in Maracana. However, both shared one of the bitterest memories in Brazil’s history with that 1-7 against Germany, one of the hardest episodes of David Luiz’s career. With PSG they did a little better, they won two French Cups, two League Cups, two Ligue 1 and two French Super Cups, a stream of titles that ended when David Luiz packed his bags to return to Chelsea for 35 million euros.
Both have played 95 games together in which They have won the majority of occasions (73), They have drawn 13 games and lost 10. Among those defeats are the two quarterfinal matches of the 2014/2015 Champions League against Barcelona. In the first leg, it was Luis Suárez who left David Luiz on the ground with a tunnel and managed to cross the goal of the Italian goalkeeper Sirigu. Bitter memories for a Brazilian couple who failed to prosper in the top European competition.
Rivals on the field
We will have to wait for next season to see how the two defensive pupils face each other, but It is not the first time they face each other on the field. Both players saw each other’s faces in the season 2013/2014 in the Champions quarterfinalsbetween PSG and Chelsea. In it first leg it was the French who took the victory 3-1However, in the return the Blues They managed to turn the tie around by winning 2-0. At that time there was a double value for away goals, which would cause the goals to pass. Jose Mourinho. Precisely David Luiz was the player who provided an assist in one of these goals that would eliminate the team with which he would sign the following season.
With a tied balance between both players, if nothing goes wrong, David and Thiago will face each other again next season in Brazil with the mission of obtaining victory. Great friends off the field who will see each other again in their native country.
