Party for Chelsea, the former captain of PSG is angry with Leonardo, believing that the Parisian sports director behaved badly with him.


Thiago Silva is quite annoyed.

The former PSG captain, who left for Chelsea at the end of the Champions League final phase, blames Leonardo for the way his departure went.

In an interview given to France Football to be published this Tuesday, the Brazilian returns in particular to the chronology of his departure.

“I really didn't like the way it was conducted.

Even if there was confinement, things should have been done differently, explains Thiago Silva.

I was in Brazil, in quarantine, when Leonardo called me to tell me that because of the pandemic and the difficulties…

(He pauses)

.

No, first he asked me if I was OK to continue for two more months in order to play a possible Final 8. I told him I was.

But he replied that the club would not go beyond these two months.

It would be two months and nothing else.

It should have been done differently.

"

“All my career at PSG, I gave the maximum, I never cheated, continues the Brazilian defender.

It's as if three matches in Final 8 changed everything.

And everything I had achieved in those eight years didn't matter anymore?

It is not consistent.

Leo did this in an awkward and hasty fashion.

Not just with me, for that matter.

I also think of Cavani who is the top scorer in the history of PSG.

I say this so that the club will progress and not make these kinds of mistakes again in the future.

"

"I will continue to support this club"

In this interview where he explains that Juninho "dreamed" of bringing him to Lyon, the new Blues player reiterates his pleasure at having joined the English capital.

“When I knew it was over with PSG, I always hoped for something big.

At the beginning, we were afraid that my age would be a drag and that the leaders would have negative prejudices, he explains.

I wanted to believe it, I prayed that God would find me a project that lived up to my ambitions.

He heard me because Chelsea are the best in England ”.

However, this English happiness is not enough to erase the scar of leaving Paris that he did not choose.

Thiago Silva also regrets not being able to say goodbye to the supporters he has worked with for eight seasons.

“It's terrible not to have been able to feel the affection of the PSG fans one last time.

It hurts me, admits the defender.

I will continue to support this club which will remain in my life forever.

Then, why not come back in a few years to play one last game?

We could organize a friendly match between Fluminense and PSG, right?
