Why Chelsea? Nigerians suggest new club for Super Falcons star Michelle Alozie
Nigeria Super Falcons defender Michelle Alozie has been left heartbroken by her favourite team Chelsea, but fans have a solution after the latest disappointment.
“Playing him is becoming a problem because we have to play a back 5 to shoehorn him in.
“Playing 4 at the back will allow us to be better going forward and I don’t think we’ll suffer much at the back.
“Nothing but respect to Thiago but I think we’d be better off without him at the minute.
The Chelsea defender then replied to the Instagram account and accepted the blame for the team's performance.
Thiago said, “If you look closely at the game, we are playing with a line of 4 my friend! But there's no problem in assuming that I'm also responsible for the defeat. put the pressure on me 👍🏾 No problem yesterday!”
The Brazilian has gone on to take the blame and asked fans to put the pressure on him and not the team.
