Agbonlahor said: “Look at the clips of Maradona; he used to get two-footed in the chest! Two-footed in the chest, no yellow card, play on. Messi – kicked, kicked, kicked—he just gets up, takes a quick free-kick and gets on with it. Honestly, just stop moaning. Get on with your game.”NYSC Portal
He added: “Yes, Saka might get fouled a lot but that is because he is a top player and people have got to stop you. I got kicked but I just got on with [the game].”
