Koulibaly “ready”, says Silva

Thiago Silva has revealed that Chelsea’s backline communicates in multiple languages ​​during games.

The 37-year-old gushed about his new team-mate after the introduction of summer signing Kalidou Koulibaly.

He said: “It was good. He’s a player with a lot of experience.

“He played in Italian football, which for me is the best defensive training you can get.

“He’s ready for our ideas. He played 70 minutes and on Saturday he’ll be ready to play 90.

“We usually speak French because Edou does that too, and Azpi, it worked out well.

“Communication is not a problem, we can speak many different languages ​​with each other.”
