Thiago Silva the key in Scudetto race, claims AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri – Serie A Update
AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has named centre-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 as the most important player of the 2010/11 season for the Rossoneri.

Allegri, while talking to the Italian news network TG5, singled out the defender for praise.
“He is a player with no equals in the world. He plays at three levels higher than everyone else.” Allegri boasted.
The head coach went on with his praise and credited Silva for the Daviolo’s outstanding season on the domestic front.
“I say thank you to him,” Allegri added. “That is because he has allowed us to keep our concentration high this week as we also have the Coppa Italia to think about. Had we been crowned champions last weekend there was a risk that we could have let ourselves
go this week.”

“When the President speaks of reinforcing the squad by gifting the fans new players then I have to be happy.” The tactician concluded.
