Thiago Silva. Few knew him. Few were excited. Few remembered it. When it was acquired, those who knew it spoke of its value. Even less did they mention that he is a footballer who, as soon as he plays, will immediately show what he can do. And you will immediately earn a place in your coach’s plans. Also, he is not a footballer from the “heap” of the soccer field. On the contrary.
Thiago came to Greece with the Nottingham “stamp”. It was as if he had been given the favor of wearing red and white. What is the truth; He could no longer go to England. Caution. Not because he couldn’t adapt or because he didn’t have time to participate. No. Not only was the Portuguese playing, it was one of the main reasons Forrest came in, one goal away from the playoffs.
In his (probably) toughest first year in the European championship last year (46 fatal games plus playoffs), Thiago Silva was Forrest’s midfield leader. He had 44 games, 3 goals, 4 assists, 3,046 minutes played, but the true value of his presence is not reflected in the numbers. But from the following statement by Lamousi: “He is our most important player. He sees two phases in front of everyone, he is intelligent, but also tough.”
The Frenchman, now Forrest’s former coach, wanted him on his team. They all loved it. But he could no longer go to England and asked for a change. With Olympiakos immediately being your first and basic choice. And it would have been acquired much earlier. Before the “tram” with Kafou, who did the opposite route. But an injury left him behind. And from that moment the problems began.
When Silva arrived in Greece, he tried to get into a rhythm. But then the coronavirus knocked on his door. They left him alone, locked in the hotel. For almost 15 days he could do nothing. And it lost more ground. When he got over it, he had to start from scratch. Literally.
We arrived in December. And now Thiago is fine. He showed it in almost 10 minutes of the match with Volos, when he managed to introduce himself to the Olympiacos crowd. He didn’t do a lot of things. But he “showed”. Control, movements, passes with an outside flank and an assist pass to El Arabi. In almost 10 minutes. You don’t say much. However, above all, he does not usually say that. From a child entering group 11 for the first time.
Thiago Silva is the only footballer at this year’s Olympic Games, among all the “young people”, who came in and with good morning showed what he can do. And how much it can help the rojiblancos. Fighting as “8ari”, which is his “good” and favorite position, or as 10ari, which was used by Lamousi in Forrest. Play everywhere, play well. Create and offer generously beautiful moments.
Pedro Martins saw what he wanted and prepares his compatriot for his first participation as a key player. Against Lamia, Thiago is expected to seize his chance. Not to adapt, but to help. Immediately. And drastically. Because he didn’t come to Olympiakos to watch. But to play. Help.
