"Paris-Saint Germain" defender Thiago Silva says he doesn't know why Brazil's national team coach Dunga did not include him in the squad for the friendly matches against Costa Rica and the USA in September. The 30-year-old footballer was often plagued by injuries last season, but despite that, he returned to the main national team squad for the "Copa America" tournament in the summer, so Dunga's decision not to invite T. Silva to the team was unexpected for the player himself. "It's tough," - the defender told Brazilian TV channel "Globo". "I still don't know why Dunga didn't invite me." "In the Paris-Saint Germain team, only five or six players remain to train during the national team break." "I'm not used to this, and it will be very strange for me, but it will motivate me even more. I have to work to regain my place in the team. I remain calm, as I have no doubts about my abilities." Instead of T. Silva, Dunga chose his club teammates David Luiz and Marquinhos as center backs, as well as the newcomer from AC Milan, Miranda, and the representative of Arsenal, Gabriel.
