<p>Speaking to DAZN after the win, Silva said: "I am very proud of my teammates. It is so hard to play against Inter; they played the Champions League final only a month ago. </p><p>"It was not easy to play, it was so hot today... Too hot to play football. The timing was not good, but Fluminense is a big team. </p><p>"We played very well. To win 2-0 against Inter is not easy. Only 10 days ago, I had a hamstring issue, so it was not easy to play today, but I am very proud of our medical team."</p>
