Chelsea defender Thiago Silva is full of praise for Brazil teammate Marquinhos.

Marquinhos succeeded Thiago Silva as PSG captain last season.

The Blues veteran said, "Marquinhos? He speaks for himself… I played for seven years alongside him, he taught me a lot even though he was younger than me!

"He seems to be my age. He is very intelligent. He is a player who is in the top 3 defenders in the world, he should be in the FIFA national team.

"He does things that players of his age do not generally do."
