Thiago Button strikes again
Had Thomas Tuchel got his way in the summer of 2020, Thiago Silva would never have become a Chelsea player. Instead, he would've remained at Paris Saint-Germain, the French club at which Tuchel was in charge and that the Brazilian has spent the previous eight years with.
Yet PSG sporting director Leonardo had made his decision. It was time for Silva to move on, time for the Ligue 1 giants to lean on younger defenders. "It was the moment to count on Marquinhos and [Presnel] Kimpembe," he said.
