QPR's Taiwo: AC Milan defender Thiago Silva won't worry about Arsenal striker Van Persie

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Wed, 02/15/2012 - 07:09

QPR fullback Taye Taiwo says AC Milan defender Thiago Silva won't be concerned facing Arsenal ace Robin van Persie tonight.

Taiwo is on-loan at QPR from Milan.

And he told the Daily Mail: "Off the field, Thiago is one of the quietest guys you will ever meet. But once he gets on that pitch, he changes. Thiago is undoubtedly one of, if not, the best defenders in the world. And his battle against Robin van Persie will be decisive. He has everything: pace, strength and is good in the air. But more importantly he is a very clever defender who won’t lose any sleep over dealing with the Holland striker."
