Following Chelsea's 5-0 defeat to Arsenal, Thiago Silva's wife Vela was unsparing in her criticism of Chelsea's performance on social media.
The defeat came in the early hours of 24 April, when Mauricio Pochettino's side suffered an unprecedented rout in the London derby, with Arsenal beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Just four minutes into the game, Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for his side. Ben White and former Chelsea Ben Kai Havertz then scored twice to give Chelsea their 11th defeat of the season in the Premier League
For Chelsea, the defeat undoubtedly added to an already bleak season.
Just a week ago, Chelsea's 6-0 win over Everton gave fans a glimpse of the light at Stamford Bridge. However, Mauricio Pochettino's side suffered a heavy blow in this game.
Cole Palmer was sidelined due to illness, while Thiago Silva was deployed on the bench, with Badiashile and Disasi partnering at the back.
Although Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino brought on D Silva in the 78th minute in an attempt to salvage the defeat, he was unable to stop Arsenal's attack. He chose to use the young player Gilchrist as a scapegoat, replacing him on the field.
The defeat was a heavy blow to Chelsea and raised more doubts about Pochettino's position.
Criticism from Thiago Silva's wife, Pella, has added to Chelsea's woes. In what is a season full of challenges and opportunities, Chelsea need to get back to form as quickly as possible and regain the confidence to win.
For the Brazilian superstar Thiago Silva, the season's days in London may have been bleak and short. His wife, Bella, 37, was outraged after witnessing the team's poor performance against the Premier League leaders in Chelsea's game. She has been relentless in her criticism of Chelsea on social media, with sharp and unrelenting rhetoric.
Subsequently, Bella posted three emojis on X (formerly Twitter) – which stood for "Don't Look at Indecent Things", "Don't Say Indecent Words" and "Don't Listen to Indecent Things", as if to say that she seems to be imprisoned in her free speech on the topic of Chelsea.
This is not the first time she has made sharp criticisms of the five-time Premier League winners.
Back after Chelsea's 2-4 defeat to Wolves in February, the wife of the Brazilian football superstar appeared to be calling for Mauricio Pochettino's sacking. She wrote on X: "It's time for a change. If you wait any longer, it'll be too late. ”
However, as soon as the remarks came out, it caused an uproar on the Internet. Bella had to apologise for her remarks in the face of overwhelming criticism, explaining that the emotional post was motivated by fanatical support for Chelsea.
She later said frankly: 'I'm sorry that as a big Chelsea fan, my personal emotional outburst has had such an impact. I'm passionate about the team, I'm hungry for the win and I'm sad about the defeat. We all want the same result, which is a winning team, come on Chelsea. ”
Bella's words not only show her love and loyalty to Chelsea, but also reveal her expectations and aspirations for the future of the team.
