No graph I make shows what the eye test is telling me. I've tried weighing passing stats against defensive stats and still nothing. The charts make it seem like this is actually a close contest when that couldn't be further from the truth. It's sad because Thiago Silva is one of the most complete defenders I've ever watched and no combination of numbers I put together can properly display that.
T.Silva is a savant at his trade, he just does the basics of defending at such an elite level that he is capable of playing every CB role imaginable. You need a technically polished Center Half to play the Rolls Royce role? Silva does this when he plays with Kurt Zouma. You need an aggressive CB to set the defensive tone? Silva would assume this role every time he played with Alessandro Nesta. You need a proven leader who can switch between both roles on a dime? This is who Thiago Silva has been since he was 20 years old.
