At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 23, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals continued, and the defending champions Chelsea will meet Lille at Stamford Bridge. At the pre-match press conference, Tuchel spoke about his beloved, Thiago Silva.
Chelsea manager Tuchel described it this way: How much I wish Thiago Silva had won the Champions League and the Club World Cup because he had not yet won those two trophies in his career, and now he has done it, which is also a dream of Thiago Silva in Paris, and now he and I have achieved success at Chelsea.
Personally, paris club's biggest failure was to invite Leonardo as director, to release Thiago Silva for free without renewing the contract, and to drive out Tuchel. In the summer window of 2020, Thiago Silva switched to the Blues on a free-form basis, after which Tuchel replaced Lampard as Chelsea's new manager, and the two once again joined forces at Stamford Bridge to win the Champions League + Club World Cup. It can be said that the departure of Tuchel and Thiago Silva really stung the hearts of Paris fans. Paris waived Ramos again in the summer window last year, and as a result, the former Real Madrid captain came to retire, making only five appearances in all competitions this season, and Thiago Silva is still the anchor of Chelsea's backline. Leonardo for Paris, is simply to do damage, if this person stays in Paris, the team champions league will always be out of play.
