“I have it settled in my mind, I’m working my body to play until I’m 40,” Thiago Silva said in an interview.
“I’m not sure if it’s because I played with Maldini and he carried on until he turned 41, but I watched the last six months of his great career and could see it’s possible to get there.
“It was impressive, the way he prepared himself to games, and how he dedicated himself to the team. My plan is to be at the next World Cup in 2022.”
