In 2017, the Italian coach sent a message to the footballer in which he made it clear that he no longer needed his services. As a result, in January 2018, Costa returned to Atletico.
“He probably had his own hidden motives, because he was aware of the abnormality of the situation: the coach rejects the player who became the best sniper of his team.
I forwarded that message to Maryna Granovska. She immediately replied that such behavior is unacceptable and that he is not the owner of the club. While in Brazil with my family, I explained to Marina that after all the contributions to Chelsea’s success, I did not deserve such treatment.
This person lacks trust in others and has imagined that he knows absolutely everything. The training process under his leadership does not bring joy: he is eternally irritated and gloomy. Maybe he has problems in his personal life if he is so gloomy.
This is a sad ending to the story, because I was really happy in London, but I didn’t want to provoke conflicts in the club.
The trophies he won with Chelsea were won with my direct involvement, as unfortunate as it was for him. Despite this, I wish him only the best,” Costa said on John Obi Mikel’s podcast.
