Much has been said of the Chelsea centre forward but one cannot deny that the "Mad Brazillian" born player is simply brilliant.He bullies defences, scores loads of goals and gets a pretty decent number of assists for a centre forward. Only Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez can lay claim to a better goal per game ratio. He has scored against the "big boys" of the Premier league memorably against Arsenal, Liverpool and now struggling Everton. He was known in Spain as a "mad hatter" but he scores goals and all was forgiven. On Tuesday, Costa led the line for Chelsea, harrying and hasling the Liverpool defence through out the match even though he was guilty of missing a guilt edge opportunity to prevent the tie going to extra time, he will be remembered only for the ill timed stamp on the Liverpool player Emre Can. After he was robbed of the ball, Costa had an altercation with the Liverpool player before stamping on him albeit erroneously. The referee proceeded to book both players both the FA decided to charge Costa with violent conduct with the accompanying 3 match ban if found guilty. Costa and Chelsea have both decided to appeal the decision and Jose(The Only One) has thrown his support behind Costa claiming it was unintentional. In support of Diego Costa video replays show that Costa was really telling the truth as he was not looking at the Liverpool player, but as we all know, "things are not what they always seem. I think that is bullocks because of Costa's volatile nature. He may have been simply frustrated and lashed out as Cristiano Ronaldo did against Cordoba but who can tell. Meanwhile, Chelsea have cancelled their pre match press conference as a show of support for Costa but they may likely face a charge and a ban along with their precarious Manager. Costa is a genius but he has an air of madness around him.In reality, who am I to say?
