Silva said: “No, I don’t worry at all because I know where I want to get to because I have really high hopes about this team, this young team.

“Thank god, I physically feel really good. Age is just a number on your document but physically I feel very young.

“I am very well prepared for this and i have been preparing for this my whole life.

“people who know me, know how much i put into my work. i put in 200 per cent and this is a great opportunity that Chelsea and Frank Lampard has given me and I don’t want to let them down.

“At 36, I am arriving to play in one of the best championships in the world.

“This is usually a league of young players but I am coming here as an older player and I see it as because Frank Lampard and Chelsea want a player of my experience.

“If someone wants a runner, then I refer to the words that Carlo Ancelotti used for James Rodriguez ‘if you want someone to run, they can sign Usain Bolt’.

“With my experience and the young players here, I hope to help them in this new adventure.

“It is another opportunity for me in my life. I will say that I am very well prepared, I have been working hard towards this.

“Tomorrow is my first game and I feel like it will go well given the way that we are training.”

I see a lot of prospects in this team. The defeat to Liverpool didn't phase me at all 'cause I know we didn't play with three of our new signings and our star man, Pulisic. We were also a man down, and I think we played well. Glory days ahead for my wife, Chelsea!

" it is winning that counts " We nor know before !
