The 39-year-old Brazil international, who will return to his hometown club Fluminense in the close season, urged the Chelsea squad to make their efforts worthwhile as the current season’s results have fallen short of the club’s high standards. Chelsea, in sixth place, underperformed this season despite spending over £400 million to bring in 13 new players last year.
“I hope understand that everything they did to get to Chelsea has to be worth it,” Silva told Sky Sports. “Because the season we’re having is not worthy of Chelsea. I think they need to do more next year.“These boys need to be aware that Chelsea has to fight for in the top positions. If we take a little of our ego and put it in favour of the team, I think it will work.
Chelsea have a three point advantage over Newcastle United, in seventh place, and could finish fifth with a win on Sunday combined with fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur losing at Sheffield United. — Reuters
