It's worth it!

There was discord within Chelsea due to Lukaku's inappropriate remarks, but a happy event covered the gloom-the renewal of Tiago Silva's contract. As for the reasons for the contract renewal, it is no secret. The Brazilian, who arrived at Stamford Bridge a year and a half ago, was praised by Chelsea: "he has been at the highest level for many years and there is no doubt that his experience and qualities will complement the many exciting talents we have here." Now, behind the continuation of praise must be strength.

After the change, Tiago Silva made 56 appearances for Chelsea, scoring four goals. It is worth mentioning that the goal against Sheffield United became the longest player in the history of Chelsea to score their first goal, second only to Glenn Hodel. The goal against West Ham is the second player in Chelsea history to score a Premier League goal at the age of 37, after Didier Drogba. But as a central defender, the number of goals is obviously not a necessary and sufficient condition to measure its value, teammate Chaloba has a deep feeling: "it is enough to watch Silva train." it's my honor to play with a world-class player like him. "

Think about it, how many people wore the captain's armband on their debut in the Premier League? Although the bizarre low-level mistakes once made people suspect obvious signs of aging, Silva, after the adaptation period, showed why he had stayed in front of the Paris restricted area for eight years, and the data provided the best support. Chelsea conceded 54 goals in the Premier League in 2019. After joining Silva, the number dropped sharply to 36 and only nine goals were conceded in the first 16 rounds of the season (now 16 in 21 rounds). As a former top player in the same position, Terry applauded Taobao, his former club: "I wish I had the honor to play football with you." Heroes cherish each other and football tales, but in fact, they also "killed" each other-Tiago Silva beat Terry to score the last goal in the 2014-15 Champions League final and Paris was able to eliminate the Blues.

In this way, last year's Champions League champion was the crystallization of Chelsea and Silva's late meeting. Although the Brazilian burst into tears when he came off with injury in the final, I was lucky to be happy when he hugged Tuchl and cried in the end. After all, Silva came for free, and when Chelsea suppressed the rumours of doubt with a flexible contract of 1: 1, in retrospect, it was all worth it, and now Chelsea can't wait to offer a third-year contract. Although the Brazilian thinks he never imagined playing in the Premiership for three seasons, he is braver than anyone else in the immortal posture of the veteran.

Although the beneficiaries have changed from Lampard to Tuhr under the Silva effect, for Chelsea, the old and new Silva is the best link to transmit will and experience, although the iron blood spirit advocated by Chelsea is no longer as brave as it used to be. however, under the seat of the 37-year-old Brazilian, it naturally continued the spark of hope, the best example was the Champions League match against Juventus more than a month ago. When he got back to the goal line, he not only rejected Morata's desire to kill his old owner, but also explained why he had an annual salary of 6 million euros. In Christensen's words: "he not only changed the system of the team, but also allowed us to fight in a collective way." How do you evaluate a good defender? While the personal data is eye-catching, point-to-point noodles is the real winner.

Even though Silva's name may not be among the best in the statistical column of key data such as rescue, steals and topping, it is the habitual thinking of Brazilians to be in the right place at the right time. This is the secret of Silva's frankness that age is just a number. In fact, he also deducted unexpected delight, such as his long pass success rate ranked second in the Premier League, such as creating a penalty against Manchester United. As long as it is his duty to guard alone, he also gives the Chelsea team an extra reward. At the end of last season, the name of goalkeeper Mendi was repeatedly mentioned when the media took stock of Chelsea's most cost-effective signings, but in the eyes of celebrities such as Gallas and Neville, the visa-free Tiago Silva was more than worth it.

I am lucky to get it, but I may not lose my life. This is the mentality of the outside world in Paris. Watching the extraordinary years, Tiago Silva played for eight years at Prince Park, made 315 appearances and won 7 Ligue 1 titles, 5 French Cups, 6 French Carling Cups and 5 French Super Cups. Perhaps Paris's dominance in Ligue 1 has caused fans' prejudice against Silva's true strength, but he can be named the best player in Ligue 1 for ten years and win the Brazilian Golden Globe Award for three consecutive years. It is not the blessing of luck or fate. It is no coincidence that Conti, who coached Inter last year, tried to hold hands with the Brazilian, but Chelsea got there first, but the corresponding "revenge" was that Paris missed the Ligue 1 title. When these gains and losses are combined to re-examine Silva's value, "respect" is the most blurted word.

The rich Paris did not feel lost at first, and they did not even prepare a farewell ceremony for Silva, which was a bitter point after he joined Chelsea, but the biggest "injury" came from the replacement. Paris offered the 35-year-old Ramos a two-year contract this year, but the former Real Madrid captain did not put on a late debut until 134 days after recovering from his injury. what is even more tragic is that he was invited to play the second game with a red card. In such contrast, Silva has at least a reason to stay in terms of age and combat effectiveness. In fact, with the benefit of hindsight, Leonardo experienced a transition from explicit abandonment to serious retention before Silva officially joined Chelsea, but the determined Brazilian wanted to try it in the Premier League and made it clear-"not to feel the atmosphere." it's about winning the game. "

It is said that there is an old man in the family, such as a treasure, but skepticism has always spread with age, and now Silva may be popular, but if he makes a mistake, he will also be at the forefront of the story. he experienced the sharp pen of the British media after his bad premiership debut. Fortunately, he knows the law of survival of the fittest, because he has said that he wants to win the Premier League, and he wants to participate in the World Cup in Qatar, even if he may not be what he wants in the end, but when he is drawn by a great goal, all heartfelt striving and cherishing give it a sense of youth, which is another layer of struggle and can be understood as the most beautiful scenery in every 90 minutes.

"I want to play like Maldini until I am 40." Now, more and more people believe in his heroic ambition.
