Blanc won't take credit for Thiago Silva's revival
Even though the defender did not play in that infamous 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Germany, he was still stripped of the team captaincy by new coach Dunga
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Laurent Blanc has praised the conduct of Thiago Silva in his return to form since the disappointment of the 2014 World Cup.
The Brazil defender came in for widespread criticism following the tournament on home soil, where the host crashed out in a 7-1 humiliation at the hands of eventual champions Germany.
The former AC Milan man missed the crushing semifinal loss through suspension but that did not spare him from the inquest that followed and he was subsequently stripped of the national team captaincy.
