Edinson Cavani ‘essential’ to Paris-Saint Germain: Thiago Silva

Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva says Edinson Cavani is crucial to his side's success in Ligue 1 this season. “Edi [Cavani] is essential to our team. He puts in a lot of effort, both in attack and defence. He scored two very important goals - especially the first one, because it changed the game completely. It was very important for the team. I think that a player like Edi should carry on playing like this because he is helping us a lot,” he said. (Video courtesy: Perform)
