Chelsea win a free kick. Romeo Lavia tries to take the ball, then Brian Brobbey tore his jersey and throws the ball away.
Is this sort of provocation now legal in football, or is it because the offender wasn’t wearing a Chelsea kit ?
🚨 Moises Caicedo on his heated argument with Cole Palmer during Chelsea’s frustrating clash against Sunderland:
🗣️ “I was giving absolutely everything against Sunderland, fighting for every ball and trying to get Chelsea over the line. But sometimes I looked around and felt like not everyone understood how important that game was.
I got frustrated with Cole because, at that moment, it looked like he wasn’t taking things as seriously as the rest of us. I told him we’re playing for Chelsea, not just passing time on the pitch.
He responded, I responded, and we exchanged some words. I don’t regret demanding more from my teammates. If we’re going to win games like this, everyone has to be willing to fight for the badge.”
