Slavia Prague’s bewildering rambling has continued with an inexplicable defence of Kudela’s hand to mouth covering: ‘because he does it with his team mates’.

The ridiculous comment completely overlooks that the reason he or anyone else does it with a team mate is to conceal team secrets and tactics that they don’t want the world and especially their opponents seeing, any other reason is just complete shash.

Eagle eyed punters will remember Milan’s Zlatan in his little set-to with Inter’s Lukaku – Ibrahimovic was happy to mock the Belgium vividly from a distance and shout an insult – one which wasn’t racist but was certainly a derogatory reference to something from Lukaku’s past, but the point is Ibra didn’t cover his mouth. And repeated the slur over and over again. And it was plainly audible what he said.

Kudela did cover his mouth – because he did NOT want the world to see the vile depravity of what he was saying to Glen Kamara.

Praha are right – players often cover their mouths – WHEN THEY TALK TO TEAM MATES.

Never, ever have we seen a covering of a mouth when aiming an attack or jibe at an opponent.

Do this club think we or UEFA were born yesterday?
