Outgoing Chelsea star Thiago Silva has left his soon to be former Chelsea team-mates with a parting message ahead of the final game of the season.
Silva is preparing for his final game for the club after four years at Stamford Bridge and over 150 appearances following his arrival on a free transfer from Paris Saint Germain in 2020.
The 39-year-old announced last month in an emotional farewell video that he would be leaving Chelsea at the end of season, and has subsequently signed a two year contract with Brazilian club Fluminense.
“Thiago knows what it means to wear a Chelsea shirt, you know”, Silva told Sky Sports.
“And if I have a message to send to the boys that are here today, I hope they understand that everything they did to get to Chelsea has to be worth it.
“Because the season we’re having is not worthy of Chelsea, it’s not.
“And I think they have to do more next year, they need to do more.
“If you look at the games, the fans never left the team, never, we were in ninth place, eighth, right?, and the fans were always there.
