Thiago Silva was delighted with his debut for AC Milan in their friendly victory over Hannover.

"I felt good because as I expected it was a pleasure to have the chance to wear the shirt," Silva said.

"It's obvious that I have lots of work to do in the future and it won't be easy to have to wait for my first official match.

"However, I will have the chance to train and get myself to the same level as my teammates on a tactical level.

"It was an emotional evening, which I enjoyed a lot, and I am very optimistic for the future."
