Traore mentioned that Marc is a perfect guy after their clash.

Chelsea’s last Premier League game was a 3-2 victory over West Ham before they lost 1-0 to Arsenal in the EFL semi-final. Adama Traore mentioned on a phone call on a TV show that Marc Cucurella is a nice guy, but humorously added, “Although if I ran into him on the street, I’d hesitate to say hello after this,”. Cucurella.

Marc Cucurella is one of the biggest “wind-up merchants” around, and he was up to his old tricks last weekend when he was provoking West Ham players by the corner flag.

Adama Traore threw him to the ground, sparking a brawl which saw Jean-Clair Todibo sent off. Cucurella went on Catalan TV last night to explain what had happened during the incident:

“It was late in the game. We were barging into one another and I felt myself very close to [Traore], and I thought, well, I’m going to stick my head in here to see if I can stir things up a bit,” the defender admitted in quotes picked up by the Evening Standard.

“He grabbed me, threw me where he could, and a big brawl broke out.”

“These are things that happen. I have no problem. Although if I ran into him on the street, I’d hesitate to say hello after this,” Cucurella joked in conclusion.

Traore calls in to give his side of the story

Hilariously, they then got Adama Traore to call in to the show for his response.

“He’s a really good guy,” the winger said.

“It’s nothing personal and there will never be. It all stays on the pitch, it was just the heat of the moment.”

We wonder if all of Cucurella’s victims would say the same?

Chelsea will be travelling to Wolves in their 25 match of the Premier League with the bottom table side, Paul Merson has given his prediction.

The Blues have already beaten Wolves twice this season, once in the Carabao Cup, and Merson has made his prediction.

“This is still a huge game for Chelsea, especially considering how it all fizzled out for them against Arsenal in the cup semi-final,” he told Sportskeeda.

“Liam Rosenior has to win all three of his upcoming Premier League games. For Chelsea, it’s Wolves away this weekend followed by Leeds and Burnley at home.

“I expect Joao Pedro to start this game. I thought he was excellent in the first half against Arsenal when he gave William Saliba a torrid time. Wolves will make it tight, but I believe Chelsea can get the win.

Prediction: Wolves 1-3 Chelsea
