Silva defended himself while respecting the fan’s opinion, highlighting his leadership qualities in the dressing room.
The criticism of Silva’s performance seems misplaced, as he continues to perform at a high level in the Premier League despite his age. The issue might be more related to Pochettino’s formation, which can leave Silva exposed at times.
Silva’s response on Instagram reflects his professionalism and leadership on and off the field, and Chelsea will look to bounce back from their defeat in the upcoming matches.
