Jamie Carragher has criticized Belle, Thiago Silva’s wife, for her recent actions that have put her husband in an uncomfortable position.
Carragher expressed his disapproval after Belle’s social media post approximately a week ago, following Chelsea’s 4-2 Premier League loss to Wolves at Stamford Bridge.
In her post, Belle appeared to call for the immediate dismissal of Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, which reportedly angered the Chelsea boss.
As a result of the incident, Pochettino decided to bench the 39-year-old defender for Chelsea’s 3-1 FA Cup victory against Aston Villa.
Carragher acknowledged Thiago Silva’s prowess as one of the best center-backs of his generation since joining Chelsea but noted that he is currently under pressure due to recent events.
Despite Chelsea’s convincing win over Aston Villa, with both center-backs performing admirably, Thiago Silva’s absence raised eyebrows.
Carragher emphasized the inappropriateness of family members publicly criticizing a manager, stressing that such actions create unnecessary tension within the team.
He condemned the practice of agents disclosing sensitive information about players, stating that it creates an undesirable atmosphere.
Carragher highlighted that this is not the first time such an incident has occurred, indicating that it has put Thiago Silva in an awkward position.
While acknowledging Thiago Silva’s exceptional footballing abilities, Carragher suggested that his age may eventually lead Chelsea to part ways with him.
Despite returning to the starting lineup for Chelsea’s 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Monday night, Thiago Silva’s game was cut short due to a suspected injury in thesecond half.
