Ex-forward Chelsea Tony Cascarino believes that his former club will regret parting with Diego Costa.

Perhaps it would be wrong to link the failures of Chelsea in the current championship of England (fourth place behind the leader in nine points after the tenth round) with the departure of the team Diego Costa, after coming to replace him Alvaro Morata is the team's top scorer and in fourteen matches for " retired "in all tournaments scored ten points on the system" goal + pass "(7 goals + 3 assists). However, the game in the attack of the current champion of England has changed, and this does not really like the former striker Celtic, Chelsea, Marseille and the national team of Ireland, Tony Cascarino.

"Alvaro Morata is an excellent striker, who can score, but he loses Diego Coste in a game on the edge," said Cascarino in an interview with The Times. - He is too decent, but brutality, without which you can not do on this position, he clearly lacks. And, I think, Chelsea already regrets about the departure of Costa. However, perhaps, Morata will change with time. When I started, I was also afraid of hurting my opponent, helping to climb the fallen man, but then did not even look who was there and writhed - I saw only the gate ".

Diego Costa, quarreling with Antonio Conte and refused to play for Chelsea, forced the club to sell him to Atletico, whose full player he will be in January, when the "mattress" will end the ban on the registration of new players.
