Thiago Silva scored for Chelsea in the London Derby against Tottenham
It’s worth mentioning that that was just one of many impressive plays by this veteran.
Thiago Silva’s opening goal completely changed the match, because from then on Spurs could not get up again.
Thiago Silva is 36 years and 363 days old today, which means he will turn 37 in just 2 days. At an age when many of his colleagues have retired, often choosing football platforms that are not too competitive.
Defensive class
Of course, the measure of a defender’s excellence is not judged by attacking situations, but by considering the defensive front.
And yet, Silva also won 100% of aerial combat situations, recovered the ball 7 times, and succeeded in duels 5 times.
It was also Thiago Silva who prevented Harry Kane from scoring on a quick free kick in the first round.
The Brazilian midfielder showed that he is still really solid in defense
The Brazilian midfielder is the oldest player in the current Chelsea squad.
Remember, Thiago Silva was a free contract brought in by Chelsea from PSG last summer.
Until now, this midfielder still plays regularly. He is a role model and spiritual support for other players on the team to rely on and learn from.
