"It's disgusting": Wilfried Zaha responds to Mateta (video)
In an interview, Mateta claimed that some players in the locker room, including Wilfried Zaha, mocked him when he talked about his dream of playing for the French national team. The Ivorian international called this accusation "false," "bad," and "disgusting."

Wilfried Zaha responded sharply to the recent comments made by Jean-Philippe Mateta, his former Crystal Palace teammate:
I have never put anyone down. Yes, I may have joked around, but I never said he wouldn't make it. It's disgusting to see someone I considered a friend say this.
The Ivorian player, visibly affected, continued:
Why mention my name when there were ten of us in the locker room? Just because I'm the most well-known? It's shameful. That's why I don't have any footballer friends anymore, I hide myself now.
A powerful statement that reignites the tension between the two former Crystal Palace teammates.
