Brazil and 7-1 in 2014, Hernanes: “Thiago Silva tried to shake us with insults …”

What appeared to be the perfect scenario ended for Brazil in the 2014 World Cup as one of their biggest nightmares. The elimination at the hands of Germany after an inevitable 1-7 has become an episode that is still talked about in the world of football.

This time it was… Hernanes’s turn. The former Lazio, Inter and Juventus midfielder, present in the Seleção led by Luiz Felipe Scolari, revealed the details of how the players experienced that challenge and what happened in the locker room during the interval.

Only Thiago Silva, who was not playing, came from outside the interval and insulted, not believing what was happening. This does not happen in football and less so in a World Cup semifinal “.

San Paolo darling Hernanes who recently moved from Sport Recife announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 36 at a press conference last week.
