Everton fans fucked up by forcing Rafa out. Everyone but Everton fans knew Rafa would be great there but idiocy has put your club where it is. I’m a United fan and if jurgen klopp is ever the United manager we united fans would welcome him.
Kova has been one of my favourite players to watch since his Inter days. Wanted Arsenal to sign him soo bad
Absolutely brilliant midfielder. Ability to beat the press by dribbling is very unique. Croatia at one stage had Brozovic, Kovacic, Modric and Rakitic – better than any English midfield in history.
He was so good for us, him, Jorginho and Kante were so key to us winning the UEFA Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Europa League. He was always appreciated by the Chelsea supporters at the Bridge.
As a Chelsea fan, Kovacic is a class act. A player with highest technical skill, ball control and dribbling ability. However, as good a player he is, he doesn't get you enough goals or assists to be compared with truly world class players in his position. But at the end, he has won every major club trophy and a CV that includes playing for Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Mancity. So good on him.
I like Kova from his Chelsea days. But to have Rafa Benitez in this video?? Two personnel’s with not only connections to Real Madrid, but also Chelsea.
This is an attempt to get into the minds of the Chelsea fans to feel something they call sympathy for Man City.
If only kovacic has the same passing range, vision, and creativity of iniesta, then we would have witnessed the player of similar calibre in epl.
Overrated player, not good to play as defensive midfielder since physically not up to standard
When Madrid bought him I asked my brother who is this now, he told me “just watch him nobody can take the ball from his feet I know him from Inter”. Since then Mateo been my favourite genre of midfielder ❤
I love Kova
Rafa Benitez always talks a lot of shite 🤣
For me I didn't like him at Chelsea he has always been a squad player
But he is not defence minded that why need a typical six
Mateo kovacic thank u thank tht u moved with curse of losing from Chelsea to Manchester city
Kovacic hasn't left a significant footprint at one particular club, he was technically good at a few great clubs without being a main character, Chelsea's CL run being a rare exception. That's what stops him from being considered great, his argument is based on technical quality without much football emotion attached to it
Tuchel loved him at chelsea I remember him saying if you call kova at 2am to training he will be happy and he will come wearing his shorts.
Kova would have shone in Maresca's system
