Bein Sports presenter Richard Keys has criticized Conor Gallagher during the Manchester City vs Chelsea match for a rather unusual reason. Chelsea and Manchester City faced off earlier tonight, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Raheem Sterling, a former Manchester City player, gave the visitors the lead at the Etihad Stadium. However, with just 10 minutes remaining, City midfielder Rodri scored an incredible goal from outside the box to equalize. Instead of focusing on Gallagher’s gameplay, Keys took issue with the torn state of his socks. Keys expressed his disapproval on social media, labeling it as ‘nonsense’ and suggesting that such attire should be banned in the Premier League, as it has been in La Liga. Keys stated, “Enough of this nonsense. There’s no need for it. The Spanish have outlawed it (although Bellingham gets away with it). It’s time we did.” While it may seem strange, players intentionally create holes in their socks for a specific purpose. It is believed that this practice helps alleviate tension in the calf muscles, reducing the risk of cramps and muscle injuries during intense matches.
