Thiago Silva has downplayed suggestions that Brazil are outright favourites for the Copa América.
Dunga has led the side to eight consecutive victories as the Seleção bounced back from the disappointment of a 7-1 semi-final defeat to Germany at last year’s World Cup. However, Paris Saint-Germain star Thiago Silva says that the team are still a work in progress and that they will have to overcome many great rivals in Chile. He said: “Of course, it’s inevitable to say that this isn’t the best moment. Colombia had a great World Cup. Argentina got to the final. Brazil kind of went out a bit worse as a result for the game against Germany. Since then there has been regrouping, new players have been arriving, there’s a different technical commission. So this takes a bit of time so we can be able to be in the best state possible. I think that the Brazilian squad will take a little bit longer to work together, but in the near future we’re going to be proud of this team.”
