Rothen, very hard in the farewell of Thiago Silva: “It has never been like Ramos or Van Dijk”

Thiago Silva, until now the captain of PSG and the pharaonic Parisian project, leaves the club. The Brazilian central defender has already been officially informed that his contract will not be renewed beyond June 30, when it expired, and he will leave Paris at 35, after eight seasons. Thiago Silva arrived as one of the best central defenders in the world, but criticism is appearing in his goodbye. Some very hard, like the one Jerome Rothen, a former French PSG international, has done.

“His departure makes sense, for a bit he offered what he had to give, but during his cycle there have been mistakes and he has received slaps for which he is responsible, especially being the team captain and earning a significant salary,” explains Rothen at RMC. , going to more. “He has never been like Ramos or Van Dijk, nowhere else would he have earned the money he has taken in Paris; he is a good player, but limited mentally,” he adds. And it is that the Champions, the successive failures of PSG, which played practically unrivaled in France, leave behind an aroma of unfinished task. Although he still has one last chance if the competition resumes, something that Rothen believes the Brazilian central defender has not earned.

“When you pay so much to a player, you hope that he will also transform those around him; if it were up to me, I would save the two-month contract that he still has until August, He was' crying all year to renew, even his wife got into that issue, and then he was the first to not accept the reduction in wages due to the pandemic crisis, “Rothen criticizes harshly, despite the fact that PSG still have a chance of winning the Champions League, if it resumes, this season.
