Thiago Silva slams Serbia coach Stojkovic after Brazil victory: Lack of respect

Brazil captain Thiago Silva has taken aim at Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic after last night's World Cup win.

Going into the game, Stojkovic had questioned the quality of Brazil's defence.

After the 2-0 win, Chelsea defender Thiago Silva responded, stating: "It's a lack of respect. We don't want anyone to be afraid of us, but all we ask for is a little respect.

"If he had studied Brazil, he would have found out that we didn't concede many goals - no matter if we play with three or four in attack.

"It seems he doesn't know who Marquinhos, Danilo, Thiago Silva or Alex Sandro are.

"I hope that next time he will be better informed or have a bit more respect for Brazil."
