If Chelsea is to have a successful season, Thiago Silva has warned his new colleagues that they must get started right away.
Chelsea shattered a number of transfer records in January as they brought in eight new players in an effort to turn around a disastrous first half of the season.
Last Friday when they faced local rivals Fulham, many of these new additions, including Benoit Badiashile, Enzo Fernandez, and Mykhailo Mudryk, played together for the first time. However, they were held to a 0-0 draw.
Graham Potter is under a lot of pressure to turn things around soon because the Blues are now ninth in the table and 10 points behind the top four.
Silva, who has stayed a gentleman at Stamford Bridge despite the team’s difficulties and still performs at the greatest level despite his age, is one player about whom the manager won’t need to worry.
The 38-year-old player himself admitted on the club’s official website that he had never seen anything like this in his entire career. Many people have criticized Chelsea’s transfer strategy.
This demonstrates the club’s ambition and how fervently it desires victory. This year, we dealt with a lot of injury issues. There are many new players now, which requires time for adaptation and preparation.
We are aware that this season is not going well, but I firmly think that even if we don’t get off to a good start, we can still have a successful season.
The lesson we should take away from this is to try to settle in as quickly as possible because there isn’t much time left before the Champions League resumes.
“We need everyone to be prepared, on the same page. We won’t be at 100%, but knowing one another has to be crucial right now to create synergy.”
His remarks come as the center-future back’s is the subject of considerable curiosity; according to sources, the former Brazil international is nearing an agreement on a new one-year contract extension.
Silva mentioned contract talks last week, saying, “We are talking about it.” Most likely, everything will occur within the upcoming days. The club and I have the same goal in mind: to stick together.
I’m here to help, I know the team needs me right now, and there are young players. With my experience, I believe I can contribute to the club’s rebuilding effort.
“I am prepared to accomplish this and am here for it. But I am aware of how much responsibility I have. I am aware that we still have a lot of work to do.
