Chelsea star Thiago Silva fires bitter parting shot at PSG as he reveals he was ‘p***ed off’ at way he and Cavani left
THIAGO SILVA has fired a bitter parting shot at Paris Saint-Germain after joining the “best team in England” Chelsea.
And the Brazilian defender also admitted he was left “p***ed off” by the way he and fellow star Edinson Cavani were treated by the French giants.
The 36-year-old made his debut for Frank Lampard’s side against West Brom on Saturday after his contract expired at PSG.
But despite enduring a nightmare bow in the Premier League that led to him being subbed off, he still believes he has made the right choice in moving to the Blues.
Silva told : “In truth, when I knew it was over with PSG, I always hoped for something big.
“At first, we were afraid that my age would count against me and directors would have negative prejudices.
“But I wanted to believe. I prayed that God would find me a project that lived up to my ambitions. He heard me because Chelsea are the best in England.”
Silva spent eight years at Parc des Princes and played for them in last month’s Champions League final defeat to Bayern Munich, even though he already knew he would not be offered a new deal.
The veteran admitted: “It’s a situation that annoyed me, I really didn’t like the way it was conducted.
Thiago added: “All my career at PSG I gave everything, I never cheated anyone.
“It's as if three matches in Final Eight changed everything? And everything I had achieved in those eight years didn't matter anymore? There's no consistency there.
“Leo did this in an awkward and hasty fashion. Not just with me, by the way.
“I'm also thinking of Cavani who is the top scorer in the history of PSG. I'm saying this so the club progresses and doesn't make these mistakes in the future.
“It's sad that I couldn't say goodbye to the fans. It's terrible not to have been able to feel the affection of the PSG fans one last time. That hurts me.”
