Singapore army files police report over motorcyclist filmed in PIE row claiming to be military policeman who could impound carLONDON, April 4 — Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino came to the defence of Conor Gallagher yesterday after the Blues midfielder was abused on social media after a video showed him apparently failing to high-five a mascot.
The incident took place before kick-off in Chelsea’s match against Burnley at Stamford Bridge, with the 24-year-old seemingly unaware that one of the mascots had held up his hand.“It has upset me so much,” he said. “No one wants to do this with this intention. When you are focusing on playing and starting the game, that sometimes can happen.”
“Conor is a great kid and always is caring about everything. I hate how people feel free to abuse on social media.”Pochettino has previously spoken out about the impact of online abuse towards players and said action was needed to deal with the issue. “How is it possible to believe that Conor’s intention is to ignore a mascot? Come on. It makes me very sad.
