Reece James the Chelsea ‘catalyst' for ‘cowardly behaviour' of ‘little toads' Fernandez and Cucurella
Marc Cucurella has admitted an offer from Barcelona would be 'hard to turn down' as the Chelsea defender was pressed on his future on international duty. Cucurella is due to feature for Spain in their friendly on Tuesday night against Egypt‚ as one of the pre-tournament favourites build towards the World Cup. With the match taking place at Barcelona's Camp Nou‚ Cucurella was asked whether it would be hard to say no to the club if they made an approach over a transfer.
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has warned his ill-disciplined players that they face the axe if they can't get their behaviour in order after yet another red card on Sunday. Pedro Neto was given his marching orders in the second-half as Chelsea lost to Arsenal 2-1 at the weekend‚ marking a ninth red card in all competitions for the Blues this season. Enzo Maresca was also shown a red card when he was manager. The likes of Marc Cucurella‚ Joao Pedro and Moises Caicedo have all been given sent off at one point or another‚ with Chelsea now having seen more than double the number of reds than any other team in England's top flight.
Marc Cucurella has made a very honest admission about the role he played during Chelsea's explosive brawl with West Ham players last week. The feisty clash at Stamford Bridge erupted into chaos in second-half stoppage time after Adama Traore threw Cucurella to the floor by the corner flag. While both sets of players brawled in a huge melee‚ West Ham star Jean-Clair Todibo grabbed Joao Pedro by the throat and was subsequently sent off by referee Anthony Taylor following a VAR check.
There were extraordinary scenes at the end of Chelsea's thrilling comeback win over West Ham‚ with Adama Traore on the rampage‚ handbags galore and a red card for a throat-grab. Chelsea had just knocked the stuffing out of the Hammers by completing a stoppage time comeback from 2-0 down to lead 3-2. And then chaos was ignited when Traore lost his cool and threw Cucurella to the ground by the scruff of his neck like a ragdoll.
As line-ups go‚ it's shaping up to be one of Chelsea's strongest. First-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez keeps his place between the sticks‚ and Moises Caicedo provides genius in midfield. Marc Cucurella is a dogged presence on the left wing and - as in the fantasies of some Blues fans - Enzo Maresca remains in the dugout. But this XI is unlikely to ever be played‚ as it exists only as an example of one of the west London's side's greatest weaknesses.
KIERAN GILL AT CRAVEN COTTAGE: Welcome to Chelsea‚ Liam Rosenior‚ and here‚ just for your viewing pleasure‚ the players have kindly arranged a special preview featuring a major item from your in-tray. It was in the 22nd minute when Rosenior‚ watching from Craven Cottage's swish seats next to co-owner Behdad Eghbali‚ witnessed Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno launch the ball long‚ Harry Wilson sprint on to it‚ and‚ clear as day‚ Marc Cucurella drag him down as Chelsea's last man. Cucurella represented their seventh red card of the season in all competitions - eight if we include the one shown to their former head coach‚ Enzo Maresca. The next nearest Premier League team to Chelsea is Tottenham Hotspur with three.
The Spanish club have reportedly allowed the 26-year-old a break as he attempts to deal with mental issues that have hindered his performances this season. The Uruguay international has made 15 appearances for Barca in all competitions this campaign‚ with his most recent outing ending in a second yellow before half-time after a sliding challenge on Marc Cucurella in their Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge. Barcelona attributed his absence from their weekend LaLiga win over Alaves to a stomach bug.
