Graham Potter opens up on what makes Chelsea top defender special after Liverpool clash

Graham Potter opens up on what makes Chelsea top defender special after Liverpool clash and this is coming after his very impressive stat for today.

Thiago Silva was exceptional again for Chelsea today – as he is almost every time he pulls on the Blues shirt.

Graham Potter was asked about his center back after the game, and as you’d expect he had nothing but praise for him.

Potter on Thiago Silva: "He's got a football brain that is above everybody pretty much. He understands the game and has played for so long at the highest level, his references are so strong." #CFC

“He’s got a football brain that is above everybody pretty much,” Potter explained.

“He understands the game and has played for so long at the highest level, his references are so strong.”

Today he helped Chelsea possess the ball high up the pitch as they looked strong in the first half, but was also a vital defensive presence in the second period where Liverpool struck back.
