Chelsea misplaced to Liverpool within the League Cup remaining on Sunday narrowly lacking out on penalties, however there was one participant on the dropping staff who fairly merely by no means deserves to be on the dropping facet and definitely didn’t should be on Sunday.
Thiago Silva is simply the kind of participant who persistently places in at the least an 8/10 efficiency each single recreation he performs, more often than not even increased. Sunday within the remaining he was a ten/10 for my part, and he’s the best instance of a soccer participant in world soccer proper now. At 37-years previous he’s simply for me the most effective on the earth, he’s on the prime of his commerce and enjoying a number of the greatest soccer he has ever performed.
However for me, soccer isn’t nearly your capacity and high quality, additionally it is largely about your want and depth that you simply play with. Simply examine this clip beneath of a second within the Liverpool recreation the place Thiago Silva completely busted a intestine to get again and clear the ball off the road to see precisely what I imply right here.
Have a look at his beginning place at first of the video, look what number of gamers are forward of him together with the quick N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic, and simply have a look at Silva coast previous all of them and get to the purpose first. Trevoh Chalobah is a participant who additionally performs with a whole lot of want, however have a look at the distinction between him and Silva. Chalobah principally offers up which is only a lack of expertise, however Silva is aware of if he will get to the road he has a great probability of stopping a purpose and he solely had one factor in his thoughts.
That is truly ridiculous. Have a look at the place 37 12 months previous Thiago Silva begins & how he manages to get again on the road forward of another chelsea participant. pic.twitter.com/r2RqieXnsS

That is what makes him standout as a participant, and that is what places a participant on the forefront and is the distinction between simply being a high quality participant and being a completely world class one, which Silva proves each week that he’s.
There isn’t any doubt in my thoughts that though he has solely been at Chelsea for a few seasons, he’s already a Blues legend and that can solely improve the longer he stays right here. In truth, can we simply signal him for an additional 5-years? As a result of all jokes apart I’ve little question he’d nonetheless be doing such a stuff above properly into his 40s given half the prospect!
What a person, what a participant, and what a main instance to all younger gamers developing by means of the ranks in soccer everywhere in the globe.
