Thiago Silva Says Boos Aimed at Brazil Are 'Undeserved' After Venezuela Draw

Brazil defender Thiago Silva said the team did not deserve to be booed after they were held to a 0-0 draw by Venezuela in the Copa America on Tuesday.

The Selecao scored three times at the Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador but they were all disallowed, two of them following a video assistant referee review, and the Copa America hosts were booed off at the final whistle.

Silva told SporTV (h/t Goal):

"In my opinion [the boos] were undeserved, mostly because Venezuela had very few chances, we worked well defensively, the team was well structured.
