A red card for the striker aroused public anger! Chelsea fans yelled: Clean him up quickly

Football

In a focus match in Group D of FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, Chelsea lost to Flamenco 1-3 away. The focus of public opinion after the game was all on Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson, who came on as a substitute. He directly received a red card with an extremely dangerous foul in the game, becoming a key figure in the team's tragic reversal. In the 65th minute of the game, coach Enzo Maresca replaced Liam Delapp with Jackson, hoping that the Senegal international can inject vitality into the offensive end. However, in less than 4 minutes, he personally ruined the efforts of the entire team.

Shortly after Flamengo headed the second goal by Danilo, Jackson flew from behind in a fight, Flamengo left-back Elton Lucas stepped heavily on the opponent's calf. This action was described by the British media as a rough foul that was "terrifying" and "unreasonable". The referee showed a red card without hesitation and sent him off, which was of no help despite the attempt to appeal. After the game, coach Maresca only briefly commented: "This is a clear red card, nothing to argue about." The

legend and the fans criticized in unison: he betrayed the team's trust!

Former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel did not hide his disappointment:

"This is a stupid mistake. The team needs you to stand up, but you betrayed this trust."

Many Blues fans have also expressed their anger on social media:

"Please clean Jackson immediately!"

"He is not worthy of wearing a Chelsea jersey!"

"This is his last game at Chelsea."

This is not the first time Jackson made a mistake at a critical moment. Mikel also mentioned that he also received a red card for similar actions when he played against Newcastle in the Premier League, and questioned his professional attitude and whether he could still stay at Stamford Bridge in the future:

"In a giant like Chelsea, competition has always existed. If you can't bear the pressure, you can't survive."

In the first half of this game, Pedro Neto scored the first record for Chelsea. But entering the second half, Flamengo set off a counterattack frenzy, with Bruno Enrique, Danilo and young player Wallace Young scored three goals in a row, completely turning the situation around.
