Why Chelsea legend wants someone to check current Blues player’s birth certificate
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Pat Nevin, a Chelsea legend, expressed his amazement at Thiago Silva’s performance in the draw against Arsenal and jokingly requested to see the defender’s birth certificate. Nevin was impressed by Silva’s exceptional play and couldn’t believe that the Brazilian is still performing at such a high level in the Premier League, considering his age.
Silva’s calm and composed style of play makes it seem as if he is in his 30s rather than approaching his 40s. Nevin’s humorous remark about wanting to see proof of Silva’s age reflects the astonishment at the defender’s enduring excellence on the field.
Pat Nevin: “Thiago Silva was probably the best player on the field [against Arsenal]. Is someone going to check that guy’s birth certificate at some point? I had two new metal hips by his age after what football did to me!” pic.twitter.com/5TD8aogyau
