“He can’t shoot, attack, tackle, win a header, or cross. ,” “What use is he?” – Fans blasts Chelsea star poor performances in 2-0 loss to Real Madrid
Chelsea fans had reason to be angry as they watched the Blues get dominated by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first-leg on 12 April.
The Madridistas won the game 2-0, as their counterparts struggled to impact the game in attacking areas. Blues fans were particularly disappointed with some of their players. One of them was Mateo Kovacic, as he was unable to match up to the intensity of the game.
The Madrid midfield ran circles around him, and he failed to make a single tackle throughout the game. He also had some wayward passes, which the fans were quick to note. Overall, Kovacic struggled to improve Chelsea’s efforts in the middle of the park.
Here is a selection of tweets from Blues fans who slammed Kovacic for his poor showing on the night:
@AlexGoldberg_: What happened to Kovačić? Been pretty mediocre all season but since he’s had the armband on these last couple months he’s been downright awful.
@CFCDaily : What’s the point in Kovacic?
@Fxlse_nein1 : This kovacic is just something else.. Sell this guy twice this summer please
@jordyxcollins : #kovacic seriously does my head in. He doesn’t show for Reece, he can’t shoot, attack, tackle, win a header, or cross. What use is he?.. no seriously what does he offer? He’s not progressing the ball at all.
@cfc_mido : Tired of Kovacic, if a decent offer comes, sell.
@West11Rhys : We should just chop Kovacic up in pieces and ship him off on the black market we’d probably make more P that way
@CFC__Edd : Question … why can’t Kovacic consistently pass the ball more than 10 yards
@KierDoyle : Hard to remember a worse Kovacic performance at Chelsea btw
