Diego Costa Tells Defenders to Wake Up As Chelsea Suffer Another Loss

Diego Costa was filmed shouting at his team-mates during Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester City, another indication that there is unrest among the squad as they continue to languish at the bottom of the Premier League. 

Costa could be seen signalling to Chelsea’s defense that they had been asleep after they conceded, though considering Costa’s own unexceptional season thus far, many are criticising what they deem to be hypocritical behaviour from the striker.

Watch Costa berating his team-mates below:

Costa’s season has been a controversial one, with the striker having been reprimanded for a number of violent incidents with his club’s opponents, including a recent altercation which saw him trip up Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas in their Champions League match.

Chelsea lost 2-1 to unlikely Premier League leaders Leicester following goals from both Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, who continue to lead an incredible season for their club. Meanwhile Chelsea now sit just one point above the relegation zone in 16th place.
