Chelsea fullback Marc Cucurella stood up for one of his teammates over the weekend.
The left-back has leapt to the defence of Noni Madueke, who came in for criticism recently.
The winger, who was laughing after the club's 1-0 FA Cup semi final loss to Manchester City, has not endeared himself to fans.
It was out of context," the left-back told The Athletic. A lot of players have different personalities.
For sure, Noni was not happy because he always loves to win. He wants to win every game in training.
[In] every action he shows it. I understand why the fans are not happy because we lost and he maybe showed he was happy.
But, for sure, he was not happy. We know him."
