“Sorry am leaving” – Chelsea key man declares Chelsea exit after another shock 4-2 defeat to Wolves
Chelsea suffered their second defeat in as many outings this week after falling 4-2 to Wolves at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues went into the game looking to bounce back from the 4-1 loss to Liverpool on Wednesday, but instead, it was Wolves who ended up taking maximum points.
A Matheus Cunha brace and an Axel Disasi own goal cancelled out Cole Palmer’s early strike to put the visitors 3-1 ahead, before the Brazilian made it 4-1 from the penalty spot with eight minutes of normal time remaining.
Thiago Silva pulled one back for Chelsea four minutes later, but it ultimately proved insufficient, as Mauricio Pochettino’s men fell to 11th on the Premier League table.
However, Thiago Silva admits he’s leaving Chelsea.
The veteran defender, 39, is coming off contract at the end of this season.
Thiago Silva told ESPN: “At 39 years old, I am closer to the end of my career. I will continue playing football, but it has not yet been decided where.
“I have a few days to think and rethink what I’m going to do.”
He also said: “I don’t think I’m better known in Europe than in Brazil, but I think I’m a little more respected here than there, that’s for sure.
“I fought against tuberculosis and I almost died. That made me very strong. And crying is not a situation of weak people, is of a brave person, and I have always been very brave in my life.”
