😬 Doesn’t sound great between Wilf and JP.

I'm sure he and others chuckled at the thought as JP sat on our bench saying it, but I doubt it was anywhere near "point and laugh at the idiot who thinks he will play for France"

Wilf is right to be upset I think. Mateta’s turned training ground bants into an underdog story lol and named Wilf as the prime hater. Not fair

Has too much time on his hands over in Charlotte methinks

Feel sorry for him. He’s over thinking it. Wilf has nothing to worry about. It’s a non-story, we know how people twist things. He will always a legend at Selhurst. 17/5/25 was built on his shoulders and all those that came before.

Zaha has every right to be upset,he could’ve just say his teammates then instead calling Zaha’s name

Isn’t that what he said?

I think it was all just a joke and taken out of context. We know how the media tends to sensationalise things. I agree with Zaha, back then, everyone would have thought Mateta was out of his mind to think he could compete with Benzema, Martial, Giroud, Mbappe, and the others who were ahead of him. But that’s why football is football.

I swear Zaha crashout every month 😭😂

I guarantee you mateta was just like "no its okay okay" with that big smile you only see on Mateta and on Mexicans who don't speak english who didn't understand a word you just said

Wilfred Zaha makes a good point but boy does this guy have a chip on his shoulder

Multiple things can be true. Mateta used that moment as fuel, and Wilf was also not hating on a teammates dreams.

Always got your back wilf made me fall back in love with the game. won’t stand for anyone slandering the greatest palace player of all time

Mateta is silly for this. I can't imagine a training ground at a mid or lower table team where this kind of banter won't be flying about national team call ups or chances of moving to a Champions League team etc. The get back is to message your ex teammate not run to the press.

Sk8er Boi the perfect backing track for this beef and I am so serious.

Only reason Mateta is in the France squad this international break is because of injuries to more important players. He won’t be on that plane to the World Cup.

🤣🤣🤣🤣the most emotional man I’ve ever seen, always complaining about something ffs

We’re all in agreement he 100% laughed at him, right?

Tbh it's very fucking clear how natural saying you are unlikely to play at st for France in 2020 as a palace sub with benzema, mbappe, giroud, dembele and many many more Infront of you. Mateta is being a baby here

Zaha crying for a minute and a half to finally figure it out - it’s just because yeah you were the biggest name that’s why he mentioned you. He wasn’t going to say “people like millivojevic were laughing at me” is he . Unnecessary from them both though

‘Zaha’s da biggest name’ Fuck off you great gimp, one of the most overrated players of the recent PL era.

Wilf man ughhhhh I love you but stop begging it

Mateta shouldn’t even be dropping names. Unwritten dressing room code means fuck all nowadays. Guys to be busy wanting videos and stories for their birds tiktok accounts

Mateta could have easily cleared it up but he hasn’t. That says more.

America has got this guys brain fried

the whole reason mateta is even in the french squad is because they have 5 injured forward players even thauvin got called up🤣

People saying Zaha emotional not seeing that people went to his socials to trolll him on it . He's right to speak out.

How do bring up a private conversation (to the media?!) with multiple people and mention just one person? This is hoe shit man lol

@rowleydan As a player who knows how quotes get turned and twisted by the media, a strange response. Mateta said, ‘Zaha and other teammates’ - which could’ve been paraphrased by the journalist and the tone of JPM’s words not conveyed…

Who the fuck is JP ?

I hear Zaha but trying to make a grown ass man come out and clear it for your satisfaction ain’t it lol. Honestly your first post about it was enough. Give it a week or two and it would have gone away.

Bro is too emotional. Why you on social media crying like a b* lol. Give JP a phone call and chop it up like grown men.

@wilfriedzaha ?

Benzema, Griezmann, Mbappe, Giroud, Dembele, Ben Yedder, Martial. - At the time. I’ll be real I would laugh. But big up Mateta for making the France team from Palace. This situation didn’t need to happen at all between them two.

😭😭😭

The reality is that we all thought JP was shit back in the day, however much I love him now 🔴🔵
