Lets take a look at some great defenders of last decade
Ferdinand
Vidić
Terry
Puyol
Pique
Cannavaro
Nesta
Lucio
Hyppia
Campbell
Yes, they were part of great historical teams
Yes, they were among the best players in their teams
Yes, they were great and dominant defenders
Today, we have Thiago Silva and this awards
UEFA Team of the Year: 2011, 2012, 2013
FIFA/FIFPro World XI: 2013, 2014
But in reality, I never saw him being dominant, world class yes, but never superior world class. He is on par with Chiellini, Kompany, Hummels, with potential to become dominant player but not superior defender yet.
Brazilian defence with him was average, why ??????
What you think, how good is/was Thiago Silva ?
