William Gallas has hit back at claims that Chelsea ’embarrassed’ themselves by celebrating their Club World Cup victory while Manchester City extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table. The Blues beat Palmeiras in the final to complete a full set of trophies since Roman Abramovich’s takeover in 2003.
However, while the Blues were in Dubai to compete in the competition, City extended the gap between themselves and Chelsea to 16 points. That led to former Chelsea ace Craig Burley criticising the Blues, describing their celebrations as ’embarrassing’ and the competition itself a ‘nonsense’ .
But, speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk on behalf of Bet365, former Chelsea ace Gallas says he’s baffled by the criticism and that the players deserved to celebrate after their efforts. ‘I don’t know why anyone would criticise Chelsea for celebrating winning a competition,’ Gallas told Metro.co.uk.
‘It’s another trophy to add to their honours. I think comments like this come from people who haven’t played the game. ‘If you play in any cup competition like the F.A Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup ,
'the players are all
working so hard to get to the final and win, you
want to celebrate the victory properly, as it’s never
easy to win a cup competition, no matter what it is
and who the competition are.
‘The commitment required deserves the celebration and releases all the pressure built up over each match. Congratulations to Chelsea on their success.’
Thomas Tuchel is unsure over Mason Mount’s availability for the trip to Selhurst Park, after the England midfielder was forced off in the Club World Cup final win. ‘He was injured. It was in one of the first actions, he had a run at the back post with Azpilicuet,’ said Tuchel.
‘They fell and his opponent fell on his ankle and he hurt his ligaments badly. So we have to see. It’s an injury. ‘He came to me and said he didn’t feel good, stiff and painful. He didn’t know if he could continue so we took the decision.’
“As they’re off celebrating like they’ve won the World Cup, Manchester City are racking up a 16 point lead on Chelsea where it really matters: the Premier League. … I don’t buy  £100M strikers to win the bloody Club World Cup.” – @CraigBurley 🗣 Pic.twitter.com/jJd3SllnD0 — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) February 13, 2022 “ ”
