While she did not indicate where the change was needed, many speculated she was making reference to Chelsea as added two blue heart emojis to her post.
Belle is not new to controversy
Belle's post sparked mixed reactions among her followers, with some agreeing that heads need to turn at Stamford Bridge.
However, some openly called her out for the sentiments, claiming that they painted the club in bad light.
Be that as it may, Belle is unlikely to be bothered, especially given that she is fond of having strong opinions in relation to Chelsea's performances.
Sportskeeda reports that Belle has on several occasions stirred the pot online with her controversial opinions, including one time when she openly criticised ex-Chelsea striker Timo Werner's inability to convert chances.
"This is karma, guys. Every team I go to there is a striker who keeps missing goals… this Werner, what is his name?"

But who is Isabelle Silva?
Isabelle was born in March 1987 in Brazil and is originally from Rio Di Janeiro.
She has been with Thiago for years, having known each other since their childhood.

The 36-year-old has two children with the veteran defender, namely Isago and Iago da Silva.
Professionally, Belle, who boasts more than 700 thousand followers on Instagram, has worked as a digital influencer.
