Brazil defender Thiago Silva has admitted he suffered from a bout of depression after the host nation's humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany in the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup. In an interview which aired on Canal+, the Paris Saint-Germain captain was asked whether he was affected by depression following the World Cup, to which he replied: "Yes.

It was a somewhat difficult period. (PSG) president (Nasser Al-Khelaifi) gave me lots of guidance. He told me: 'You're the best defender in the world, but you still need to work more'. I told him: 'President, I always work. But in my head, I don't know what's happening, there's a problem'."
