Thiago Silva is annoyed that he lost the Brazil captaincy and revealed neither national team manager Dunga or new captain Neymar have spoken about the issue with him.
Neymar was handed the captaincy of the Selecao from Silva by Dunga after the World Cup, making him one of the youngest ever national team captains in Brazil's history.
The Paris Saint-Germain defender has missed out on most of Brazil’s matches under Dunga due to injury and Miranda and David Luiz have played together in Brazil's last two games.
Although he has returned to the squad, Silva was left out of the team for Friday’s 4-0 win over Turkey.
The defender said that he is upset that he was never given a proper explanation for his dismissal and neither Dunga nor Neymar have talked to him until now.
