Zaha hits again at Jean-Philippe Mateta
One in all life’s ensures is that Zaha could have his say in an argument and Jean-Philippe Mateta lately discovered that out the exhausting method. The Crystal Palace striker initially name-dropped his former teammate when revealing that he used to mock him for his France ambitions at a time when he could not even get a begin at Selhurst Park.
“At Crystal Palace, proper initially, after I wasn’t even taking part in, I spoke in regards to the France workforce within the dressing room and I had team-mates like Wilfried Zaha who have been laughing.
