‘I let myself down’: Hayes clarifies comments on players’ relationships
Chelsea manager disappointed with using ‘inappropriate’ termHayes spoke on issue after Chelsea’s 3-1 win against Arsenal
Emma Hayes clarified her comments on relationships between players on Thursday, saying she “didn’t think it was right for me to use the term inappropriate”, following Chelsea’s exhilarating 3-1 defeat of Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
Hayes faced a backlash for calling both relationships between coaches and players, and relationships between players themselves, “inappropriate”, which many on social media interpreted as her saying the two scenarios were the same. The Chelsea defender Jess Carter was seen “liking” critical posts.
