Paulo César da Silva Barrios (born February 1, 1980 in Asunción , Paraguay ) is a Paraguayan football player .
With 150 games he is the record player of the Paraguayan national soccer team , with which he also took part in two world championships. At club level, da Silva played for ten years at the Mexican club Deportivo Toluca, among other things for a short time in the top European leagues in England and Spain. He is currently playing for Club Libertad in his home country .
Career
society
Until 1998, da Silva played in Paraguay for various clubs from the region of his hometown Asunción . From the top club Cerro Porteño , the central defender moved to Italy to Perugia Calcio in 1998 . His first year in Serie A was, however, a disappointment, because he was not used by the then first division promoted Calcio. So he moved to Argentina for a year at Club Atlético Lanús , where he played seven times in the Primera División . The return to Italy the following year was not much more successful than the first attempt. In the second division AC Venice and AS Cosenza Calcio he hardly got a chance, so he returned to South America in 2002.
Then he celebrated his greatest successes in his home country: with the Club Libertad from Asunción he became Paraguayan champion twice in a row. He also recommended himself for the Mexican winner of the North American Champions League Deportivo Toluca, with which he was under contract from 2003. With Toluca he won the Mexican Apertura in 2005 and 2008 and was in the Champions League final in 2006. Deportivo is the club where da Silva spent the longest of his career at ten years old.
For the 2009/10 season, da Silva moved to the English first division AFC Sunderland . After he only came to a single league appearance in his second season until the winter break, he moved to Real Saragossa in the Spanish Primera División at the beginning of 2011 .
From 2012 to 2017, da Silva played again in Mexico, first one season with CF Pachuca and then a second time with his former club Deportivo Toluca. In 2017, da Silva returned to Club Libertad, with whom he won his third Paraguayan championship with Apertura in 2017 and the national cup competition in 2019.
National team
Da Silva played 150 international matches for the Paraguayan national soccer team from 2000 to 2017. He was able to establish himself after his first return to Paraguay in 2002 and during the following time in Mexico. Although he played 14 of the 18 qualifying games in Germany in qualifying for the 2006 World Cup and was certainly part of Paraguay's World Cup squad , he played no role in the 2006 World Cup and was only substituted once in his country's three games shortly before the end. In 2010 he again took part in the World Cup and this time was on the pitch for all of Paraguay's games for the full length of the season. The team achieved the best result in Paraguay at a world championship with the quarter-finals.
From 2007 to 2016, da Silva also took part in a Copa América four times . In 2011 he reached the final with Paraguay, in which his team lost 3-0 to Uruguay. After his country failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, through which da Silva had led his team as captain, he ended his career in the national team.
Da Silva has been Paraguay's sole record national player since his 111th international match in 2013. Behind Iván Hurtado (168 internationals) from Ecuador, he is also the player with the second most international matches on the South American continent (as of March 2020).
