Football expert Gary Neville has been facing backlash for his comments on Chelsea's player, Marc Cucurella, during Euro 2024. The talented 25-year-old has been making a name for himself with impressive performances for Spain in their victories against Croatia and Italy.
But Neville's previous remarks about Cucurella have resurfaced, causing outrage among Chelsea fans. Ahead of Spain's match against Croatia, Neville had doubted Cucurella's chances of playing, citing his lack of convincing performances for Chelsea and his high price tag.
Despite Cucurella proving his worth on the field, Neville's words have not been forgotten by Chelsea supporters, who have now given him the nickname "Gary Clownville". On social media, fans have been criticizing Neville for singling out Cucurella and blaming him for Spain's supposed inability to win the tournament.
But not all Chelsea fans agree with Neville's assessment of Cucurella. Some have passionately defended the player, mentioning that he had a few rough performances at the start of his time with Chelsea, but has since become a valuable member of the team.
It's not the first time Neville has faced criticism for his punditry. Some fans have pointed out that he was a failed manager, and may not have the best understanding of the game. Others have accused him of not regularly watching matches and giving uninformed opinions.
Despite the backlash, Cucurella remains focused on his performance on the field, and has continued to impress in Spain's matches. As for Neville, it seems his comments have only added fuel to the fire, and he may have to face the consequences of his words in the future.
