A few days ago, Neal Maupay rejoiced at the misfortunes of Everton, the club to which the current OM striker still belongs. Sean Dyche, the Toffees coach, spoke on the subject this Thursday at a press conference.
The publication, viewed more than 14 million times on X, sparked a wave of indignation among Everton supporters. On December 29, after a home defeat for the Toffees against Nottingham Forest (2-0, 19th day of the Premier League), Neal Maupay decided to quit the English club… to which he still belongs. “Every time I have a bad day, I look at Everton’s score and I smile,” said the OM player, loaned with an option to buy by Everton last summer.
Present at a press conference this Thursday, two days before the trip to the Bournemouth pitch (this Saturday January 4 at 4 p.m., 20th day of the Premier League), Sean Dyche, the Toffees coach, was questioned about the controversy triggered by the 'attacker.
“I don’t need to worry about his comments.”
“I think it's fair to say that I'm focused on much more important things at Everton. I don't need to worry about his comments,” replied the English technician with a burst of laughter. “A disciplinary procedure? I don't think we are concerned about this subject” he insisted.
After their home defeat against Nottingham Forest (0-2), Sean Dyche's players are in sixteenth place in the Premier League, with only three victories in 18 matches. In this delicate situation, Maupay's troll therefore went down very badly among fans. “It's not the nicest thing to do for a player who is part of the club's payroll,” lamented Tony Bellew, former boxer and Toffees supporter. “He's a puppet. When Everton are doing well, you don't hear a whisper from that little squeaker, but as soon as Everton lose or underperform, the weasel shows up.” Sean Dyche remained a little more measured in his response.
