Lagos, Nigeria – E be like say Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca don enter wahala as him go serve one-match touchline ban after him misbehave during di match wey dem beat Liverpool 2-1. Dis fine news na as Football Association (FA) drop di announcement on Wednesday. E be like say Maresca no fit control im body when Estêvão score di winning goal.
Maresca, wey dey show say im get passion for im team, rush down di sideline go celebrate with him boys after di last-minute goal. But e no know say referee Anthony Taylor dey watch am like hawk, and na so him collect second yellow card for di stoppage time. Di FA yan say Maresca don act ‘improperly’ and na why dem show am exit door on top coaching from di bench for di next game.
Di FA don fine am £8,000 (we go talk say na about $10,697) for di misconduct, and e don quickly admit di charge. Dis no be first time Chelsea dey face issue like dis. Just recently, dem get three players wey don collect red card like say dem dey play cards for di middle of di match.
Maresca come dey talk say di suspension no dey bother am. ‘For me, it no be wahala,’ him talk. ‘E just be like say we go need adjust our mindset for next time. Sometimes e good to just let dem score if e means say we go dey 11 vs. 11.’
As Chelsea dey prepare for di next match against Nottingham Forest, Maresca no go dey for sidelines, but him go dey in charge from di directors’ box. (I fit just imagine am dey shout instructions like say na movie set.) Assistant Willy Caballero go take charge on ground level. Na wetin we dey call teamwork oo!
Di game dey critical for both teams as Forest dey waka for di bottom of di table with zero wins in seven games. And we sabi say coach Ange Postecoglou dey under plenty pressure. Dem don dey talk say Sean Dyche fit come take over, but we go see wetin go happen after dis match.
