Thiago Silva is not afraid to use his status as a former champion with Brazil, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan to help guide Chelsea's youngsters to win titles in the near future.
The defender celebrated his 36th birthday on Tuesday and is preparing to make his Chelsea debut against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, having made a move from PSG almost a month ago.
However, there are doubts from some about his ability to adapt to football in England after coming from a slower and less competitive league.
