Meet Thiago Silva's wife Belle, who is waging war against Pochettino
FORGET the hairdryer treatment, Thiago Silva's wife's digs are just as brutal.
Isabelle Silva isn't afraid to give her opinion on Chelsea's blues, just ask Mauricio Pocettino.

Shortly after the Premier League giants were humiliated on their home pitch by Wolves 4-2, Brazilian Wag took to X to write a cryptic post.
“It's time for change. If you wait any longer, it will be too late,” she clearly posted.
She didn't mention Pochettino, but timing is everything in her statement and it seems the Argie tactician is the last to feel her wrath.
No one at Stamford Bridge has felt safe since Silva arrived on our shores from PSG in 2020.
While she has discriminated against even the star player of an opposition. Isabelle is the Premier League's most idiosyncratic and outspoken Wag, as these examples testify.
Timo Werner
The German striker has always had his critics.
Despite all the effort and work rate he puts in, Werner gets into the right positions but fails to capitalize on his opportunities.
But Isabelle would show him no mercy after the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.
She slammed the ex-Chelsea star's poor finish on social media.
In a video on Instagram, Belle said: “This is karma, guys. Every team I go to has a striker who keeps missing goals… this Werner, what's his name?”
In another video she added: “We need a goal, we need to win this match, but my attackers don't want to score, I don't know why they don't score.”
His stay at Chelsea lasted just two seasons and Werner returned to Germany with his tail between his legs.
Graham Potter
The former Brighton boss was another boss bombed out of Chelsea after Isabelle handed down her verdict.
Their 2022-2023 season was one to forget, with Thiago Silva left out of the team in a 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Man City.
“I just think that going back or looking for solutions when you take a hasty and completely wrong attitude is not wrong #goblues,” she wrote.
Funnily enough, Stamford Bridge's decorations team were also attacked by the fiery South American beauty when she noticed there were no pictures of her husband on designs around the stadium.

She wondered: “Today I went to Stamford Bridge and I noticed the pictures around the stadium changed. But I don't see a picture of @tsilva3 anywhere. Why @ChelseaFC?”
Then it was the commentators who drew her ire after a 4-1 thrashing at home to Brentford.
“I'm here in my box at Stamford Bridge,” she began. “I just listened to the commentator who said that Thiago Silva doesn't attack enough.
“Respect Thiago Silva because Thiago Silva arrived yesterday, Thiago Silva played for Brazil, Thiago Silva is very tired, Thiago Silva is 37 years old, he plays like he is 20 years old.
“So respect him, he's not a machine. He needs to relax, okay?”
Like any passionate fan, it hurts when your team isn't doing well.
At the end of last season she said: “Very difficult to see what I see on TV. At home the situation is getting worse because I don't know how to help, what to say. Very sad @tsilva3, you are not alone. “
Unai Emery
When Silva played for PSG in France, he was coached by Unai Emery, recognized as a top manager.
His work at Aston Villa is second to none, and the blame for his failure at Arsenal should not be placed entirely on his shoulders.

That said, she did not agree with the man being dropped by the Spanish tactician after a 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
She wondered, “Tactics, tactics, tactics?”
Rule here is: maybe don't drop Silva.
Andy Robertson
If it's not her own team she's rejecting, it's the opposition.
Liverpool defender Andy Robertson may be robust in the tackle, but we're not sure how he handled Isabelle's attack.
The Scotland left-back shared a video on his social media of a clip of Jorginho being left for dead during the Reds' win over Chelsea.
Belle was having none of it and used TikTok to have the final say.
“Chilwell is better than that guy you even lost to Southampton,” she said.
Her response brilliantly attracted over 500,000 likes.

She almost dumped Silva too
If Isabelle had carried out this threat earlier in their romance, Thiago. could have saved him a lot of trouble during his career.
When he played in Russia as a youngster between 2005 and 2006, she traveled to Moscow to dump him.
However, he became seriously ill with tuberculosis and she joined him for support to help him recover for several months.
He told SportsBuzz: “She went there [to Russia]she left everything in Brazil to go.”
'A curious fact that few people know is that she went there to end our relationship and things eventually changed.
“Of course I didn't know at that moment what was going to happen, I found out years later, but I was happy to see her there at that very difficult time in my life. That moment there strengthened us as a couple.” .”

They married late that year, before having two children together, Isago and Iago.
Word to the wise, don't cross Isabelle Silva, though.
