Chelsea striker, Diego Costa, has warned Premier League defenders that he will not be provoked or bullied on the pitch, despite being known for having a bit of a temper.
Glimpses of that side have shown from the Spaniard so far this season, especially against Everton, where he had encounters with Seamus Coleman and Tim Howard, but the former-Atletico man insists that defenders will never be able to provoke him.
Costa said: “Hit me. I hit you back. Provoke me. I will score.”
Costa’s team-mate, Filipe Luis, has even admitted that the striker does have a temper on him, but insists Jose Mourinho likes that about the player.
Luis said: “He always wants to win and if he doesn’t he gets crazy, he gets mad.
“He’s that sort of person. Jose Mourinho is also likes this. People with ambition, they always want to win and if you don’t, it gets you mad.
“They try to get better and these sort of people really have to succeed in life.”
