Liverpool legend Ian Rush has admitted that Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has 'impressed' him this season and could be key if Chelsea are to win the Carabao Cup final this weekend.
Silva, 37, seems to be improving with age, so it is no wonder the Blues board were quick to secure his services for the 2022/23 season, with the importance of his leadership to the European and world champions' success clearly evident since he signed on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020.
Since that switch across the channel, Chelsea's defence has become rock solid and Tuchel's lieutenant has played a big part in this change from the often unpredictable rear-guard that was evident during Frank Lampard's reign.
