Silva, who debuted as a pro in 2002, has played for prestigious pro teams including AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. He has achieved legendary career by playing in 113 A-match games and experiencing three World Cups in the Brazilian national team. He is currently playing for Fluminensee, his native Brazilian strong team, which has overcome the difficulties through thorough self-management.
But Silva is 'Goose Dad'. In the process of leaving Chelsea for Fluminensee last year, he chose to return to Brazil alone, and the rest of the family chose to live in London, England. In the meantime, Iago caught the eye of the England Football Association, and eventually got a chance to participate in the U-15 national team training. Iago said on his social media that he was proud to be invited to England's training camp at this moment. He did not hide his emotion, saying, 'I will do my best. Silva also commented 'Son, we are always proud of you. God will continue to protect him in the future,' he said, expressing his pride.
It is common for players with dual nationality to choose a specific country from the national team by age and then make a different choice on the adult national team. Jens Kastrov, who played in the German youth team, chose the Korean adult national team after being called by Hong Myung-bo in September. It is true that Iago was also called up to the England Under-15 national team, but he is not completely far from his father's country, Brazil. However, depending on how well he shows, there is a possibility of a sharp battle between England and Brazil.
