Chelsea supporters have taken issue with Maloca Gusto’s “disrespectful” Instagram post following the team’s victory over Fulham.
The 20-year-old right-back got the team’s 1-0 derby victory at Stamford Bridge.
And after joining from Lyon last year for £30 million, Gusto delivered another polished performance.
However, his post-match antics infuriated some Blues fans.
Gusto celebrated Chelsea’s most recent victory in an intimidating Instagram image that he shared.
However, one of the photos showed him looming over Willian of Fulham as the winger gripped his ankle after a forceful challenge.
Willian, 35, spent seven years at Chelsea and won two Premier League championships.
And he was in excruciating pain after losing to Gusto’s tough challenge today.
The Frenchman’s post was deemed “disrespectful” by several fans towards the former Blue Willian.
Some, however, were worried that Gusto was taking pride in his vicious tackle, which on another day may have earned him a red card.
“Has he got the wrong impression of Chelsea fans’ opinion of Willian?” a fan said. Great servant.
“Shouldn’t be bragging about an ankle-breaking challenge that deserves a red card on him.” Would have lost the game for us.
Another said, “He needs to be careful with those tackles, he almost cost the team. That’s not a flex.”
“Don’t like disrespecting Willian, showed nothing but love for Chelsea,” one person wrote.
“Why would he do Willian like that?” another person said.
“No way Malo Gusto posted that tackle he did against Willian,” remarked another fan. The human race is dangerous.
Marco Silva, the manager of Fulham, was sure that Gusto ought to have been dismissed.
“That’s a clear red card in that situation,” he yelled.
“It’s hard for Anthony Taylor to judge if it’s a red card or not. He decided on a yellow card, and we have to give him credit for that since it took him a short while to see that Malo Gusto had made such a hazardous tackle.
“However, the VAR’s decision to reverse the ruling must come next.
“In the Premier League in the last ten minutes, nine players have received red cards; this afternoon, there wasn’t one; the VAR made a mistake.
“The fourth official shared my opinion, and I don’t want to share it with you.
“The game will be entirely different and it would have had a huge impact at 35 or 36 minutes.”
Although Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, felt sorry for Silva, he was happy with his team’s third straight Premier League victory.
“I want to tell you it was a red card if I were in his place,” Pochettino remarked. I recognize. The referee’s perspective is different in this kind of situation, and sometimes it’s for you and sometimes it’s against you.
It was beneficial to us. The three points were essential.
“It’s crucial for the team to have three straight Premier League games, with four of them at Stamford Bridge, as we are developing this process to feel the confidence, the trust, and even to accept the criticism.”
Gusto joined Chelsea in the summer and has already made 19 appearances.
It was actually decided during the January window of last year for him to leave Lyon.
However, the Blues consented to allow him to finish the season with his childhood team.
Gusto has likely seen more play at Chelsea than he had anticipated, as Reece James has experienced more setbacks due to injuries.
He has occasionally been used as a left-back as well.
Additionally, Gusto earned his first senior France cap in October as a result of his outstanding performances under Pochettino.
