Chelsea defender Thiago Silva says he’s enjoying his time in London.
Thiago Silva admits the atmosphere around the club has helped him recover quickly from injury.
“Nobody likes getting an injury and I was out for a few games ] but the atmosphere in the club, all the positive things going on, the happiness I feel for being at this club, all of that has helped me to get back on my feet quicker,” he explained.
“I’ve never felt as happy while injured. That may sound a bit weird but it’s part and parcel of the game. I’ve got many examples to look up to and keep my chin up. As many times as I fall down, I’ll rise up again. I’m not a quitter.
“People say ‘you’re 36 and playing well’ but nobody sees everything I gave up to reach this point. At 36, many players are ending their careers yet I’m going through one of my best spells. I'm really enjoying this time at one of the biggest clubs in the world and I’m very happy right now.”
The centre-back has featured predominantly in the centre of the back three under Tuchel, a coach he worked with for two-and-a-half years at Paris Saint-Germain, and was already well-versed in the German’s methods. (Tribal Football)
