João Pedro: Thiago Silva is a legend I look up to | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Chelsea released a documentary about the connection between the club and the Brazilian footballer, and the name of Thiago Silva—who spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge—was naturally remembered. Even more so by João Pedro.

The Chelsea forward this season (36 games, 14 goals, and 5 assists) did not hold back on praise for his compatriot who currently wears the FC Porto jersey. “Thiago Silva is a legend, an example of a career I strive to follow,” João Pedro stated in the mentioned comment.

Thiago Silva returned the compliments: “It's always very difficult to face him because he is a number 9 who is never confined to the position of 9, he moves around a lot and that, for a defender, is the most horrible thing because you lose your reference.”
