Following Chelsea’s exit from the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Thiago Silva, the team’s defender, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the club’s board for their lack of strategic signings.
During a press conference after the game, Silva, who led Chelsea in their match against Real Madrid, acknowledged that the team is in turmoil but implored the board to make more strategic decisions, citing the ineffective signing of eight new players in January.
“It’s a challenging period for the club, with a lot of uncertainty. We had to expand the changing room because we were cramped. We brought in eight players in January, but we need to pause and develop a plan, or else we’ll repeat the same errors next season,” Thiago Silva was quoted as saying by Chelseanews.co.
Thiago Silva also expressed his frustration with Chelsea’s propensity for firing coaches when things get difficult.
“Everyone talks about replacing managers, but players must also take responsibility. We’ve had three managers this season, plus a fourth with Bruno. Everyone is focused on the manager, but we must examine what we’ve done wrong and try to correct it,” he added.
