Kurt Zouma: Diego Costa should not change

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he has no idea who will replace striker Diego Costa in tomorrow’s away game against Newcastle United.

“If I had to play against Costa, I’d treat him the same as I did Didier Drogba”.

Then there is a list and I come on the list where I get punished if I talk about the referee.

Whether it’s a statement to derail his team’s opponent, motivate his club, or manipulate the media, the charismatic Portuguese has it all. The ban covers Chelsea’s League Cup match at Walsall on Wednesday along with EPL matches against Newcastle and Southampton. English is not my first language and I never meant to say that. He’s a Brazilian from Spain who is considered to be one of the insane person from the team and at the same time he also tends to joke a lot during the training sessions.

“If I had to play against Costa, I’d treat him the same as I did Didier Drogba”, said Carragher.

“Diego is really a good finisher”, Remy told Sky Sports. Diego is the craziest guy in the club. It was a mistake and I am really sorry for it. It is my second year in England and my English is not flawless. He is too amusing.

“He is a different person on the pitch, but I think he is really passionate and that’s why he is like this”. I hope he will continue like this. I like this guy. “Everybody is very happy to have Diego in the team”.

So when Georginio Wijnaldum doubled Newcastle’s lead in the 60th minute after Ayoze Perez’s opener, many claimed the Blues were missing their “most important” player Dean.

“I used to play as John Terry [on the Playstation]!” They are now at a lowly 15th spot on the EPL table with a mere seven points, eight behind league leaders Manchester City.
