Chelsea centre-back Thiago Silva has offered an insight into working under Mauricio Pochettino.

The Blues have made a positive start to life under the Argentine, defeating Wrexham 5-0 in North Carolina before following that win up with a 4-3 victory over Brighton in Philadelphia as part of the Premier League’s summer series during our pre-season tour of America.

“Everything is working really well, we are training very good and trying to find the best connections and trying to get a good evolution,” Silva told Chelsea’s official website.

“We need to prepare well as a team, so we can start the season in the best possible way and try to have a better and more successful year.

“The environment has always been good but it’s true that last season with difficult results, the situation was difficult.

“But the trust and confidence with Mauricio is starting to be very interesting, he’s putting things on the right line and direction so all the players can have a good season and perform better.”
