Thiago Silva and PSG, it's over. The Brazilian international defender has pledged in favor of Chelsea. However, we know that the person concerned wanted to stay. And it is also clear that Thomas Tuchel wanted to keep him. Alas, Leonardo had decided to turn the page. Although, the club in the capital finally tried, at the last minute, to extend it. In vain ...

He has been a terrible coach for PSG. If there had been a coach of another caliber during these two years, PSG would have already won the C1. " Atmosphere ... The agent of the new Chelsea player also believes that Emery, newly appointed coach of Villarreal, is "the first responsible for the comeback".
