Cucurella's Humorous Gesture: Boots in the Trash
Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella lightheartedly disposed of his boots after slipping twice during the match against Tottenham Hotspur, leading to goals for the opposition.
In a recent Premier League clash between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, defender Marc Cucurella experienced two unfortunate slips that resulted in goals for the opposition. Following the match, Cucurella shared an image on social media of his boots discarded in a trash can, accompanied by the caption: "Sorry blues."
Despite Chelsea's eventual 4-3 victory, Cucurella's mishaps drew criticism from former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, who remarked, "Cucurella comes to the bench, don't blame anyone else, it's your fault, son! Schoolboy stuff. Shameful. He slips again. Look at him shrugging. Didn't he warm up?"
Commentator Peter Drury added a touch of humor, comparing the situation to a fairy tale: "Well, like Cinderella, Cucurella needs a slipper that fits!"
Cucurella's self-deprecating response and the ensuing commentary highlight the lighter side of football, even amidst intense competition.
