Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has revealed how the squad reacted to Nicolas Jackson’s red card against Flamengo in the Club World Cup. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the squad accepts that mistakes happen in football, so everyone quickly forgot about the matter when they got to the dressing room.
Cucurella added that the team will definitely miss Jackson in the Club World Cup, but other players are available to step up.
His words, “Yes, for sure it’s been accepted. What happened is just football. This game is sometimes about mistakes. He made a mistake, but we have forgotten about this. We’ll miss him in the next game, but we have other players that can do his job.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
