Thago Silva skippered the Seleção in their 5-0 win over South Africa on Wednesday.
The game was considered to be preparation for facing Cameroon at this year’s World Cup but the 29-year-old refused to right off June’s opponents.
“All the African teams in the World Cup are good teams who play well. Therefore, we have to be cautious.”
“Cameroon is a team who likes to play with the ball and doesn’t like to mark players. We now have to prepare well and study them well.”
