Defender Thiago Silva was furious at the Londoners’ elimination from the tournament at the quarterfinal stage.
Tiago Silva was very saddened by Chelsea’s loss in the quarter-final battle with Real Madrid. The Brazilian especially did not like the final score of the two-match confrontation. It will be remembered that the Londoners lost to the opponent with a total score of 0:4.
The 38-year-old central defender said he did not want to leave the tournament like this, as it could be the last Champions League of his career.
“I think the first step was taken. Wrong step, but taken. We can’t blame the managers if we don’t take responsibility. It’s a difficult time for Chelsea, with a lot of doubts. Change of ownership hey, new players coming in – we need to increase the size of the locker room because it won’t fit the size of the squad.
The positive is that there are good players in the team, but on the other hand, there are always players who will not be happy. There will always be people who get angry because not everyone knows how to play. A manager can only pick 11 players from a 30-something starting lineup – it’s tough. Some people can’t get into the team, we signed eight players in January, we have to stop and strategize, otherwise next season we can make the same mistakes.
This is probably my last match in the Champions League. I only have one year left on my contract and my career is coming to an end. It was a very sad day. But I think we have to keep working to win as many matches as possible before the end of the season,” said Thiago Silva as quoted by Goal.com.
Remember that the Londoners only have a theoretical chance of getting into the Champions League next season. Chelsea are 11th in the Premier League. The club is 17 points behind the Champions League zone for 7 rounds before the end of the tournament.
Earlier, Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard commented on the loss to Real Madrid.
