Brazil and Chelsea star Willian disagrees with Dad over sub role

Brazil reserve midfielder Willian had some advice for his dad after he visited the team's training camp: Don't talk too much!

Severino da Silva told local media this week that he thinks Willian has to be Brazil's starter the rest of the World Cup, putting his son in a difficult spot with Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.

"I already spoke to him and asked him not to say anything else from now on," Willian said Wednesday, with a laugh. "My father is very passionate and sometimes he talks too much."

Willian came in as a second-half substitute in the last two Brazil matches at the home tournament, a 0-0 draw against Mexico and a 4-1 win over Cameroon.

"My father respects all the players, he respects Felipao," Willian said. "I think that if you ask any father he will say that he wants his son to play, it's normal. He is my idol, someone who always supported me. I'm only here today because of him."
