Danny Murphy has revealed one of his former Liverpool team-mates was unpopular in the dressing room because of his wife’s tragedies.Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has inadvertently hit the headlines after his wife Bella suggested his manager Mauricio Poechttino should be sacked following last weekend’s 4-2 defeat to Wolves.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Murphy recalled a similar situation during his time at Liverpool and said Silva’s public involvement would not go down well in the Chelsea dressing room.”If your wife, your partner, your girlfriend, your mother, your brother or whoever starts tweeting about your career and club politics and who should do what, you’re going to feel weird,” he said.
If Thiago Silva is 25 and plans to have a long career at Chelsea, that will be more important because you don’t know what will happen next week. “Where does it end? Will he tweet that (Nicolas) Jackson missed a header 2-1? ‘What are you waiting for?’He continued: “I remember having a little party at Liverpool in pre-season with the new players.
It was adult entertainment. A player’s wife decided to call the coach and tell him how disgusting she was for putting her husband in this situation.”Men would alienate him because they would say, ‘What are you doing?’ He spoke quickly.
