‘Amazing guy’- as Blues fans love what Thiago Silva did ahead of Wolves clash
Ahead of Wolves clash on Sunday, Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has sent a message of defiance to his critics ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
However, The Blues travel to Molineux off the back of the disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Everton on Thursday night which has seen them lose crucial ground in the title race.
Despite dominating the game with over 80% possession and 10 shots on target, Thomas Tuchel’s team shockingly failed to beat a depleted and out-of-form Toffees side after Mason Mount’s opener was cancelled out by Jarrad Branthwaite.
This result means Chelsea have won just two of their last five league games, having also suffered a 1-1 draw against a manager-less Manchester United and a 3-2 defeat to West Ham United in the last month.
As it stands the club are third in the table, four points off leaders Manchester City and three points off second-place Liverpool, and some fans and pundits are concerned that this loss in momentum could have dire consequences on Chelsea’s title aspirations.
But one man who does not appear to be worried is Silva, who has been at the heart of Chelsea’s imperious defence this season and already knows a thing or two about winning league titles having lifted the Ligue 1 trophy seven times with Paris Saint-Germain and Serie A once with AC Milan.
The 37-year-old has now sent a message to the doubters, posting on Instagram: “The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity; The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.”
The Brazilian clearly feels Chelsea will bounce back to winning ways on Sunday, in what should be a tight game against a tough Wolves side.
Blues fans have certainly been inspired by Silva’s words, with some showing their support for the player on social media:
