The title and competition of the world first guard started from him, when he won the championship for the French tycoon, even if it was already a meritorious achievement in the history of the team, it was difficult to leave a happy ending.
People know how good his defensive skills are, but age is bound to be a topic that all professional players can't avoid.
Four years ago, when Chelsea recruited Thiago Silva on a free transfer, the 35-year-old Brazilian veteran would become the best signing before the end of the Abou era!
On May 7, Brazilian powerhouse Fluminense officially announced that the 39-year-old Thiago Silva will return this summer, wearing the number 3 shirt and signing a contract until 2026.
At this point, Thiago Silva, who has been with Chelsea for 4 seasons, announced that he will bid farewell to the Bridge at the end of the season and is about to return to Brazilian football after his career in Europe!
From the age of 35 to 39, many people initially thought that Thiago Silva was just coming to Chelsea to retire. Experience the Premier League late in your career, and by the way, provide the youngsters with sophisticated defensive experience. But who would have thought that the retirement experience of 1 season would become a legend of achievement for 4 seasons.
At Chelsea, the veteran Brazilian World First Defender has left a strong story that is enough to make the audience applaud and make the farewell that will eventually come even more reluctant.
"Looking back at everything I've done here for four years, I've always given it my all, but unfortunately, everything has a beginning and an end."
Thiago Silva, fresh from Paris Saint-Germain, joined Chelsea on a free transfer in August 2020. He has played 153 games in all competitions for Chelsea over the past four seasons, scoring nine goals and providing three assists.
At the start of the 20-21 season, there were doubts about the 35-year-old former world first-in-one defender, but he just continued to prove his individual quality with solid and superb defensive performances. So much so that it was said at the time that Thiago Silva was the best centre-back for Chelsea and the Premier League.
In his debut season, veteran Thiago Silva quickly cemented himself at the heart of Chelsea's defence and lifted the Champions League title as a team leader. In 2021, Chelsea won the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
The arrival of Thiago Silva has made the Blues' defence, which had been under much criticism, extremely united and solid. Before that, it was hard to imagine that Chelsea would win three titles in a row.
In fact, even Thiago Silva himself never imagined that he would be able to become a champion team again in the last leg of his European career.
"It's a dream, definitely a dream. Even in my wildest dreams, I never imagined that I would be able to achieve such great things."
When Chelsea talent emerges and new signings join the team one after another, perhaps only in 1984 veteran Thiago Silva can we still see the figure of the iron-blooded Blues of yesteryear: resolute and brave, giving it their all for the team.
At first, the hero's reluctant departure in the twilight of time has achieved another good story in football. It's a pity that my brother-in-law and the Blues met late. They didn't meet at their peak, but they have left their mark on Stamford Bridge for the last of their glory in European football.
Thiago Silva's imminent departure will also blur memories of the last highlights of the Abu era, with the once familiar Blues long gone.
"I hope to leave a door for myself so that in the near future, I can return here, albeit in another role."
Joined at the age of 35 and won the championship. Farewell at the age of 39 is already a legend. Thiago Silva's relationship with Chelsea is far from over, so we won't say goodbye this time!
