No remorse Costa claims he’s the victim

|

Diego Costa appears to have absolutely no remorse that he could have left Irons keeper Adrian seriously injured and on the sideines for a a long time.

Indeed, in a new moan up his only concern – as ever – is himself and the unjust treatment believes HE receives in this country.

Diego Costa escaped a red card after a lunge on West Ham goalkeeper Adrian

Despite all the damining evidence to the contrary he continues to play the victim.

Speaking to ESPN Brazil he said: “I’ll be honest, I am targeted here, by the referees, the people. If I do something, it’s totally different than if any other players do.

“It needs to be seen, that people targeted me.

“It’s something I have to deal with and I ask God that these things don’t disturb me and don’t take the sequence of the games from me, which happens sometimes and gives me suspensions.

“I am aware of [the new dissent law] now. The second time I went to talk to the referee, he showed me the yellow card.

“I even found it a bit weird, but then I understood.

“I went to apologise at half-time and that’s it.”

    Hopefully Costa will get a few red cards this season . But it is strange how West Ham always seem to see the ref being lenient towards Chelsea . Silly of Adrien to keep his eye on the ball when there is a wild animal baring down on him .

    He is just a savage,stick him back in the jungle where he belongs.

    Podria haber sido bastante peor . Adrian lo tiene mucho suarte de que tu pierna no esta rota .
    Costa eres una bestia y deberia salir la cesped con la targeta Roja mitado en su Culo .

    Could have easily Injured Adrian,anywhere else on the pitch,red.Could you imagine the consequences if it had of been AC on courtois? COYI

    All players deserve better protection against a cynical thug like Costa. He belongs in the favellas, dealing drugs or as gun runner, not kicking the sh1te out of players on a football pitch….I can’t stand the bloke

  • ironswatch says:

    stupid as well as ugly why would he go to apologize if he done **** all wrong

  • bubs says:

    If he does not like it in this country it’s a big world out there and plenty of Planes to travel
    Bye Bye

    He is one horrible f@cking snide.The sooner he is out of our league the better!!

  • slaven a laugh says:

    I see. so Costa is running a little protection racket where he goes to see the referee personally at half time. Or maybe the ref recieved a nice little brown envelope as a thank you after the game.

  • johnboy says:

    Is that allowed ?
    A sneak ? Says sorry and then criticises the refs in the press !!!
    Low life 1 braincell cheating thug
