🚨| BRIAN BROBBEY ON WHAT HE TOLD LEVI COLWILL AFTER THE PENALTY INCIDENT AGAINST CHELSEA: 🗣️ Brian Brobbey: “When I saw Colwill coming towards me, I knew exactly what he was trying to do. He wanted to stop me from getting into a dangerous position, but then he started complaining when the referee gave the penalty. “Honestly, I don’t understand the reaction from Chelsea players. They can make contact with you, pull you and try to stop you, but the moment the referee points to the spot, suddenly everybody is innocent. “After the decision, Colwill was still talking, so I looked at him and said, ‘Levi, what exactly are you complaining about?’ “‘You were holding me. You were trying to stop me from getting to the ball. What did you expect the referee to do?’ “He looked at me as if I had committed a crime. “I told him, ‘You cannot expect the referee to ignore everything just because you’re playing for Chelsea.’ “And the funniest part was watching their players surround the referee. They were acting like the penalty had ruined their entire afternoon. “Chelsea had their own penalty appeal earlier when Cole Palmer went down. The referee and VAR decided the contact started outside the box. They didn’t get it. That is football. You don’t get every decision you appeal for. “But when the decision goes against them, suddenly it’s a robbery! “I’m sorry, but you cannot demand one standard for your team and a completely different standard for everybody else. “They came here expecting an easy afternoon, but Sunderland didn’t come to admire Chelsea’s shirts or reputation. We came to compete. “And if they think every decision must go their way because they are Chelsea, then they need to wake up. You don’t get special treatment because of the badge on your shirt. If you give away a penalty, you have to accept the consequences!”
