AC Milan defender Thiago Silva is delighted to be in Dunga's Brazil squad for their friendly against Italy.

Thiago cannot play for Milan this season because of a lack of an EU passport and said: "I look forward to it. I want to continue my adventure in Europe, I should take advantage of every opportunity I'm given in the national team as if it were the final of the World Cup - and this is one of those matches.

"Everyone wants to take part. If I am given the opportunity I will do everything possible to exploit it."
