England has not forgotten the story of Kurz Zouma’s cats. At the start of 2022, the central defender was sanctioned by West Ham with a heavy fine of 300,000 euros for having mistreated his felines in a video posted on social networks. Since then, he has been the target of mockery on all Premier League pitches. Even today this story comes up regularly in topics of conversation.
Gary Lineker, former glory of English football, and converted into a successful presenter on the BBC, took advantage of a great opportunity to put a diaper back on. In a photo posted by West Ham on X (the old Twitter) showing Zouma warming up with the caption “Our Captain” (Our captain), the ex-attacker replies: “Just realized that captain is an anagram of cat pain” (I just realized that captain is an anagram for cat pain). Obviously, this chambering hit the mark.
