Former PSG captain Thiago Silva harshly criticized the capital club.
After eight years spent at PSG, of which he was captain, Thiago Silva was not extended in the summer of 2020 and therefore decided to sign free with Chelsea. but the 39-year-old Brazilian defender remains very attached to the residents of the Parc des Princes and always keeps an eye on the performances of his former partners.
But during a recent interview with Guardian, Thiago Silva has not been kind to Paris Saint-Germain. He explains in particular why the capital club is struggling to shine in the Champions League despite millions spent.
“ We acted in the opposite way”
“ Look, nothing happens overnight. You can’t accomplish everything just because you have a lot of money, estimated the Brazilian. This is how football works. If you don’t have a clear plan of what you want, things aren’t going to work. Above all, you must earn respect in your own country to have any hope of being respected abroad. Unfortunately, we failed to do so. We acted in the opposite way. We wanted to be appreciated abroad, but we didn’t do what we needed to do to earn respect at home. »
