Chelsea Coach Laughs Off Online Jibes

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior is taking online criticism in stride, even joking about it with his own squad. A recent incident during a match against Arsenal saw Rosenior fail to control a high ball on the touchline, which drew jeers from the crowd and subsequent online ridicule.

Rosenior acknowledged that members of his team have played back the footage and shared a laugh, with one player questioning his professional playing past. He emphasized the importance of enjoying life and being able to laugh at oneself, especially given the current public attention.

Separately, Rosenior expressed his confidence in a player named Mamadou, believing he has the potential to become a world-class center-back. He thanked the club's management for supporting his assessment and noted the player's growth in performance, physicality, and tactical understanding. Rosenior indicated that Mamadou would need to compete for his place against other strong center-backs in the squad.
