Frumenense will face Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, and 40-year-old Thiago Silva reunited with her old club a year after bidding farewell to the Blues in May 2024.
Thiago Silva's wife Bella said in an interview with FIFA official website: "Our love and respect for Chelsea are mutual, which is a very special connection. No matter where Thiago plays, we have deep feelings and good memories with the team. Now, our family is ushering in a new era, our children are starting to play football, and the Chelsea club is conducting systematic training for them. They have always cared for our family and we also pay the same enthusiasm."
" Even if Thiago has transferred to other teams, my children and I will still stay in London, continue to be the first to do so. Continue to feel this warmth. When we are recognized on the street, people will congratulate Thiago and wish the children a future star of Chelsea. We can also hear the songs they sang for Thiago, the British love football and also love Thiago. "
Bella made it clear that she supports Fruminense's victory, but also emphasized that the bond between their family and Chelsea is forever: "It is very special to see Thiago represent Fruminense against Chelsea, of course, we all hope to win, but one day the Blues, forever the Blues. Once you become a member of Chelsea, you are the Chelsea forever."
