"My priority is very simple its always the game we play. I expect when we where the Chelsea shirt we play to win and give 100%. Someday its better and someday not so good. It's amazing and exciting to play Champions League games. We feel confident and focused." - Thomas Tuchel |

Capaldi:Madrid was a solid team with him shielding the defense when he left they suffered a decline till they were able to get Muhammadu Diarra that helped them do the dirty work, also with him Chelsea have the lowest goal conceded and highest point tally in EPL as at then plus strong performances in Europe, when he left Chelsea we had to rely on Obi Mikel which was a downgrade. |

Felipe Lius: “I suffered Salah in training, pfff. When he went Fiorentina, I said: ‘Why are you going? He said ‘I need to play.’ I thought: ‘This kid’s good.’ He never went for money or to win more; he went to show he could play. In training he was like Messi. Really, like Messi" Source: @Blue_Footy 3 Likes |

If tuchel no use experience against atletico tomorrow ehn na big dunce. I no wan see leginho Abraham against a ruthless atletico o. Also jorginho and kovacic pairing for midfield without a breaker like Kante will be disastrous. Kante should start along side jorg and giroud should start upfront. Ziyech would be great to whip in those crosses for Giroud. 10 Likes |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by NextD18: 7:07pm On Feb 22, 2021 |
NewDelhi:You've said it all. Without Kante and Giroud the only reliable experienced top 9 for now, Chelsea will be in trouble. Hakim starting might not be necessary because of his poor performance in the last game. |

Kamelot77:Yeah a "defence troubler" would be necessary tomorrow but the only person that would have done that job is pulisic . He's injured. And no, I'd rather have giroud for such game than Abraham. Abraham against a team like atletico?lol . Pulisic, giroud, ziyech/mount front three for tomorrow's game would have been perfect. Cc NextD18 1 Like 1 Share |

timbros: 1. Well, airmark asked what I think makes a defender great and here's my response : " Well, for me I believe that aside from a CB being very good at reading the ball, very good in the air, being a good leader at the backline , making timely interceptions etc....such player must enjoy successful years with his team(either at the national level or club level by winning a major title ) and such success must be directly attributable to his footballing prowess. It is only then I consider such player as ''great" 2. Airmark carefully highlighted the part I talked about winning titles but didn’t see where I talked about such player being a major contributor to his team’ success within those periods . 3. Then he comes to drag George weah who is a former world footballer of the year , a pavel Never who has a Balon D’or to his name among other honors and Zlatan who excelled almost everywhere he played into the conversation . 4. Do u honestly think I will continue with the conversation and be wasting my time trying to make him see what he doesn’t want to see ? 5. It is only right for me to ask him that since Pavel Nedved , George Weah are being talked about for how great they were in the eras they played , does he think Thiago Silva will be remembered and referenced as one of the top 5 defenders in the first 20 years of the 2000’s ? 6. I already got the answer I wanted from his inability to answer the polar question with yes or no . 4 Likes |

BlueRayDick: No need setting the bar too high. We know the nigga who came to clown Thiago Silva used Boateng as reference point. So the real question is whether Boateng is in the top 5 defenders of the last 20 years. 1 Like |

Ibunkun1: Yes now. He claimed that Silva never won a major trophy for club and country, i mentioned Copa America he started doing several 'leg overs' like Quaresma. Meanwhile, Ferdinand : Back in 2014, when asked on Twitter who the best centre-back in the world was, the Manchester United legend said: “Thiago Silva by a long way.” Gattuso : “I see Thiago’s strength every day in training. It is not a blasphemy to compare Thiago Silva to Franco Baresi.” Inzaghi: “I think that Thiago Silva is the best defender in the world. It is incredible how good he really is. Thiago Silva is part of a new generation of phenomenal players who are perhaps born every 100 years.” Ronaldo: “Thiago Silva is without a doubt the best central defender in the world. He has incredible qualities. He is a symbol of elegance like Franz Beckenbauer. He is following in his footsteps.” Ancelotti: “When Thiago gets onto the pitch, he controls the defence with his great personality and character. He is the boss of the defence,” Ancelotti wrote in his 2015 book My Coaching Secrets. “Thiago is a leader, technically capable of doing extraordinary things in the two phases of the game. With him, things at the back are simple and efficient. “His speed, his great ability to recover the ball, the way he reads the game, all combined with an extraordinary leap in aerial duels makes him one of the best defenders in the world.” Laurent Blanc: “I confirm everything that is said or written about Thiago Silva, everything people think of him: he is at the top level in the world!” Capello: “If I needed a defender I’d sign Thiago Silva. In the next two years, he could easily play in Italy with a cigarette in his mouth.” But here on nairaland, he is not great because he hasn't won a UCL or World cup. 11 Likes 2 Shares |
