Zapping Our Mondial TOP 10: The most profitable transfers in history
Last night, Chelsea once again left feathers in the Premier League by conceding a draw on Brighton’s lawn. However, everything had started well for the Blues, who had opened the scoring half an hour into the game by Hakim Ziyech (28th). Only, the Moroccan, who did not celebrate his goal, caused a stir across the Channel.
Joe Cole does not understand, Tuchel minimizes!
Joe Cole, who worked for the London club in particular and LOSC, did not fail to tackle the player’s attitude: “That’s what you play for. He’s a fantastic talent, he hasn’t proven himself in the Premier League because it’s very different to the Dutch league. But not celebrating… It doesn’t sit well with him as a person. You know guys aren’t happy when they don’t play. But if I come off the bench and score a goal, it’s a release of energy. When you run to them [les fans], you want to celebrate because you worked all week, you did the preparation for the match, bang, you scored a great goal. Obviously there are things he is not happy about, but just keep what you do on the pitch, play well and you will play consistently. It’s not worrying, the club is going to the Club World Cup and it will be a good opportunity for the club to get out of it because the results have not been those expected. So it’s time to come together, because this team only six or seven months ago was European champion. They easily won the final against great Manchester City players. There are still great players in this team so they just need to get back on track and back in the right direction” he said for BT Sport.
Same story with the former Brighton striker, Glenn Murray also present on the set of the English media: “I was disappointed with the reaction on the goal, I think if you celebrate that with the fans it gives you buoyancy for the next 10 minutes to go and kill the game. That’s what Chelsea had to do. With all due respect, they lost four points to a Brighton side who they easily need to take four or six points from if they are to challenge for the title. And against the run of play, they scored a goal. It was a flat celebration and it just passes on to the teammates, doesn’t it?” he scolded.
If the consultants were therefore offended, Thomas Tuchel preferred to minimize the thing: “I am happy. He can score 20 more and not celebrate, I have no problem” he launched. What to put an end to the debate? Nothing is less certain …
to summarize
Scorer last night against Brighton, Hakim Ziyech did not celebrate his goal. Which did not fail to react across the Channel. Not enough to offend his coach Thomas Tuchel, who preferred to minimize the event.
