Silva put in a stern performance to deny Leicester's attackers, with the Blues having had Conor Gallagher sent off early in the first-half. It is just the latest of a number of resolute performances from the veteran defender. He has earned huge praise for his adaptation to Premier League football at the back end of his career. Terry has praised the 37-year-old on Twitter, writing: "I F#C#ING Love this man."

The Brazilian went on to win the trophy in his first season at Stamford Bridge and was key to the west London side's European venture. He has made 86 appearances for the Blues, winning the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. His performances are earning comparisons to that of Terry's who had huge success during his career at Stamford Bridge. The former Blues captain won five Premier League titles and the Champions League, with many dubbing him as the club's greatest ever defender. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel praises Silva performance against Leicester Tuchel praises his veteran defender Tuchel joins Terry in lauding the Brazilian following yet another impressive performance. The German tactician told reporters following the crucial 2-1 victory over the Foxes (via SportBIBLE): "The belief. In the end we can do things even better. Let's not take it (red card) as an excuse, we have to play the best way possible. We had to change the shape to close distances in the back." "Thiago in the middle to organise and be more active and the wingbacks to make the difference maybe." He continued, "He's always key [...] It suited him to defend deep and in the box, around the box. This is what he loves and is very best in. That's why we changed to a back three in the second half with a man down." Silva will likely have a new centre-back partner joining him for his side's next game against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on August 30.
