Thiago Silva emerges as a defending legend and inspiring figure for Malo Gusto
During this international break, Chelsea’s rising star Malo Gusto was given a desired call-up to the French national squad for the first time. The call-up was caused by an unfortunate injury, but for Gusto, it’s an exciting opportunity for him to showcase his talent at the senior level.
Gusto’s time at Chelsea has been nothing short of excellent, having joined the squad this summer to bring a new level of competition, in particular with Reece James. Despite being a last-minute signing, Gusto has had an impact in Chelsea’s lineup this season, benefitting on James’ injury.
Gusto is partnered in Chelsea’s back four with the renowned Thiago Silva. The young prodigy has openly expressed respect for Silva, describing him as one of the world’s best defenders. He recognizes his growth as a person and inspiration to the experienced Silva, who has surely made an everlasting imprint on Gusto’s budding career.
Speaking on Thiago Silva, Gusto tells RMC Sport: “He’s one of the greatest defenders in the world. He’s always on top, focused on what he’s doing. To see that he’s still at his best, it’s something that’s beautiful and inspires me a lot.”
As Gusto prepares to represent France on the international arena, his partnership with Silva at Chelsea provides greater potential for growth and success in the coming weeks, months, and years.
