(Video): How Thiago Silva used to get Trevoh Chalobah in trouble at school | OneFootball

Trevoh Chalobah has a big Match of the Day interview coming up this weekend, and the BBC have been teasing little bits of it in advance.

Trevoh Chalobah names his top 3 defenders

They asked Trevoh to name his top 3 centre backs and why he liked them so much. His answers tell you a lot about the kind of players he wants to be.

“Number three, Thiago Silva. I used to watch him back in school on Youtube and get in trouble. For me he just has everything. He can head, he can play, when he was in his prime he was quick, he was strong, a leader. I’ve always loved Thiago.”

“Number two I’d go for Sergio Ramos, just a winner. A leader. Always wants to put his body on the line. I used to watch a lot of El Clasico and he would stand out,” the defender continued.

“Number one? John Terry, legend of the club. What he did in the Premier League, what he did for the club. He helped me out a lot when I was younger and I would train with the first team. He would be the one to put his arm around the young players, to help them gain a bit of confidence, you know.”

A very good set of answers there. It never ceases to amaze us how many nice things you’ll find everyone saying about JT who has worked at Chelsea.
