Chelsea Fans Reacts As Thiago Silva’s son joins Chelsea academy, begins training (video)

When Chelsea signed Thiago Silva for free, many were excited we were bringing in a leader and a great legend. But many also feared that he wouldn’t be able to cope with the demands of joining a new club in a new league, especially considering he was 35-yeara old at the time.
