Thiago Silva
Thiago Silva joined Chelsea during the twilight of career – nevertheless, the ageless Brazilian is still one of world football’s leading defenders.
He possesses superhuman positioning and anticipation skills. Silva is brilliant at guarding his area, but he’s also fantastic at launching himself into last-ditch tackles.
Defensively, there is nothing that Thiago Silva cannot do. He’s not as fast as he used to be – but given his advanced age of 38, this is more than understandable.
