Thiago Silva compared to Paolo Maldini with Chelsea urged to secure centre-back's future CFC
Even though the former Paris Saint-Germain star’s quality is rarely doubted, many express concerns about his pace.
However, when confronted by the Reds’ Uruguayan forward Darwin Nunez, nicknamed Captain Chaos for his fast and frenetic syle, Silva dealt with him sensationally.star went toe-to-toe with the 23-year-old and forced him away from goal and into an poor shooting position, where he duly missed the target.And former Blues striker Tony Cascarino compared the centre-back to Italian icon Paolo Maldini before telling the club to tie him down for at least another year or risk him strengthening a rival.
“I just laugh at someone who is 38, gets in a one-on-one with Nunez, who is lightning quick and, ok, might catch half-a-yard but he doesn’t get away from Thiago Silva, which is extraordinary. Just brilliant defending.
“He was outstanding again for Chelsea, Thiago Silva. He’s got [Paolo] Maldini in him. [He could] play until 40 quite comfortably. “If Chelsea didn’t offer a contract to him at the end of the season there will be plenty that would, without a doubt. I would if I was in a management position.When he was queried if he would take him at Liverpool, the club he supports, Cascarino replied: “Yeah, if I could get him for nothing and get him in, absolutely.“He’s a fabulous footballer, he’s so composed, rarely gets in trouble.
