Fulham veteran Willian appreciates Silva influence on career revival

Fulham veteran Willian admits manager Marco Silva has helped revive his career.

The 34 year-old has been outstanding for Fulham since returning to England this season from Corinthians.

He told the Daily Mail: "Many people thought I was coming here just to chill and only play when I wanted to.

"But I have proved them wrong. It's been brilliant for me and I am really enjoying it.

"I had some doubts. Fulham have in the past been up and down, they have struggled. I didn't want to go to a club fighting down the table. But the first contact with Marco I was very impressed. I trusted him and what he told me."

Willian added, "We can take a European place and must dream."
