Verratti: ‘Silva better than Bonucci’

By Football Italia staff

Marco Verratti ranks Paris Saint-Germain teammate Thiago Silva ahead of Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini - “they need each other, he’s strong with anyone”.

The midfielder plays with the Juventus pair at international level, but believes his club teammate is the best centre-back in world football.

“The captain! O Monstro! He’s impressive,” Verratti told Goal.

“He’s one of the two best in the world with Sergio Ramos. You could add Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo but they need each other, while Thiago Silva is strong with anyone.

“He’s a captain who talks a lot in the dressing room.

“Marquinhos takes advantage of having Thiago Silva beside him. He’s lucky to be developing with a player like that. Now he has to become one of the best.”
