Thiago Silva’s wife, Belle, defended the Chelsea defender after criticism came his way during the 4-1 defeat to Brentford.
Chelsea were thrashed by their west London counterparts on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, making it a day to forget for Thomas Tuchel and his side.
It was their first defeat in the league since January, and it came straight off the back of the international break to which many players had been involved with their countries.
Silva came back early from his Brazil duty and trained on Friday ahead of the game. Tuchel gave him the nod to start, but his performance was criticised by commentators for not getting forward enough.
Belle took to Instagram with a strong reply, saying: “I’m here in my box at Stamford Bridge. I just listened right now to the commentator, who said that Thiago Silva is not attacking enough.
