Thiago Silva turns 37 and shows no signs of slowing down with age. Thomas Tuchel confirms the defender's age is not an issue.
"When he’s on the pitch he trains full on, there is no training session where he is trying to hold back," Thomas Tuchel told the club's official website of Thiago Silva.
"He is one of the most intensive guys in training physically. He obviously gets better and better with his experience.
"To step out of what he knew and his comfort zone with the status he had in Paris, to the hardest competition in Europe, at his age, shows what kind of competitor he is.
"I don’t look at age, I just look at performances.
"He has been in a very good moment for a long time and hopefully he can preserve this momentum and his performances because it was well deserved that he was Man of the Match."
Thiago Silva joined Chelsea back in 2020 from PSG. He has made 38 appearances for the Blues so far, playing a key role in the team's Champions League triumph last season.
