Chelsea dismiss claims of legal action from Diego Costa's lawyer as 'nonsense'
Simon Johnson - 4 Aug 2017
Chelsea have dismissed striker Diego Costa's chances of bringing legal
action against the club over his treatment at Stamford Bridge. Standard
Sport understands that the club have been left bemused by comments from
Costa's lawyer Ricardo Cardoso, who has accused Chelsea of trying to force
the striker out.
俱乐部对科斯塔方声称要动用法律途径的说法感到困惑。
Costa claimed that he was informed in June he was no longer wanted at
Chelsea by coach Antonio Conte via text message. However, the Chelsea boss
said last month that wasn't the case, insisting that the 28-year-old and
his agent Jorge Mendes was told in January.
科斯塔宣称两个月前遭到孔蒂短信宣判，但其实一月时他就知道自己的命运了。
When asked by Standard Sport today about Cardoso's comments, Conte said he
remained mystified and said: "For me it is very simple. The situation is
the same as what I said in the past: the player, his agent and the club
knew very well the future of the player. For sure I don't understand why
the lawyer is getting involved because the situation is very clear."
旗帜晚报问了孔蒂关于科斯塔律师的说法，孔蒂回应： "情况很简单，就跟我之前的
说法一样，他的经纪人和俱乐部早就知道他的未来，所以我不太了解律师跑进来掺一
脚是怎样。"
When pressed if Costa, who wants a transfer back to Atletico Madrid, is
proving a distraction to his job now, he added: "No, this is in the past."
在被问到科斯塔现在是否让孔蒂分心，回应是： "不，都过去了。"
Cardoso stunned the club on Thursday by saying: 'We are going to use all
possible legal mechanisms to hold Chelsea responsible for their behaviour,
making possible the departure of Diego Costa."
科斯塔的律师昨天说： "我们要动用一切法律途径让却尔西付出代价+让科斯塔离队。"
But club spokesman Steve Atkins added: "The premise the lawyer has put
forward is just wrong. The decision on Diego was made back in January. The
player knew the decision, his agent knew the decision, clearly the lawyer
has not been well informed. The lawyer's argument that Antonio as a coach
has forced the player out by text message in June is just nonsense."
面对科斯塔律师的法律声称，俱乐部发言人阿特金斯表示： "律师讲的完全错误，我
们对科斯塔前途的决定在一月时就做出了，球员和经纪人也知道这个决定，很明显该
律师不知详情，所以他声称的科斯塔被孔蒂用短信驱逐完全是胡说八道。"
"We'll just have to see what the window brings."
"接下来我们要看看转会窗口的发展。"
AC Milan have also been in talks with Mendes over a possible transfer even
though Costa wants to go back to Atletico. The La Liga club can't register
any new players until January and have yet to come close to Chelsea's
￡50m asking price.
虽然科斯塔想回的是马竞，但AC米兰已和门德斯接触过。而目前马竞到一月前都不能
签人，跟却尔西的5000万英镑要求也相距甚远。
