Thiago Silva has been left angered at Neymar after losing the captaincy armband for Brazil.
Paris Saint Germain central defender Silva captained his side at the World Cup but lost the armband following the 7-1 defeat to Germany and 3-0 defeat to Netherlands in the semi-final and third-place play-off respectively.
Barcelona forward Neymar has since taken the captaincy, whilst Silva is yet to feature for Brazil under new boss Dunga and he has spoken of his unhappiness at the situation.
“Sincerely, I didn’t expect this,” he told the media. “I would be lying if I said it didn’t annoy me. It feels like something was taken away from me that was mine.
“It’s painful and makes me sad – especially because no-one has come to talk to me about this. Neymar didn’t approach me.
“But I think we must be prepared for everything, somehow, even if I thought I was going to come and play.
“I have to be ready to be on the bench also. We have quality players, like David Luiz and Miranda, so I knew that it was going to be hard but I didn’t expect to be dropped. But it’s part of football and I’m ready to fight for my place back.”
