Thiago Silva’s wife, Belle, has once again shared her criticism of Chelsea following their abysmal 5-0 loss to rivals Arsenal. The Blues were thoroughly outplayed at the Emirates Stadium, with former Chelsea player Kai Havertz and Ben White each scoring a brace after Leandro Trossard opened the scoring. Silva, 39, was brought on as a substitute after 78 minutes, but by that point, Chelsea was already trailing 5-0. The defeat was a culmination of a difficult few days for the Brazilian, who was seen in tears following Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City. After the match, Belle took to social media to post three emojis, all of which depicted shocked and embarrassed faces. This cryptic message was interpreted by many as a dig at Chelsea’s poor performance.
Thiago Silva’s wife, Belle, has seemingly taken another veiled dig at Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino on social media following the team’s humiliating 5-0 defeat to Arsenal. The loss, which marked the Blues’ 11th Premier League defeat of the season, came just days after they were knocked out of the FA Cup semi-finals by Manchester City. Silva, a veteran center-back, started at Wembley but was benched at the Emirates Stadium, only coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute. Shortly after the match, Belle Silva posted a cryptic message on Twitter, featuring three monkey emojis that symbolize ‘see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil’. Her post has been interpreted as a criticism of Pochettino’s decision to bench her husband. The incident comes after Belle Silva had previously called for Pochettino to be sacked in February following a defeat to Wolves. She had also made comments suggesting that her husband would leave Chelsea when his contract expires in the summer. Despite Belle Silva’s criticism, Pochettino defended his decision to bench Silva against Arsenal, citing the need to give the team energy and rest the 39-year-old defender. He also acknowledged that the team’s performance, particularly in the second half, was unacceptable.
