Kurt Zouma delivers pep talk to Eduardo Camavinga
Kurt Zouma gave Eduardo Camavinga an on-field pep talk in the wake of Chelsea’s 2-1 win against Rennes this week, according to RMC Sport.
The Blues scored a late winner against the French outfit to secure their passage into the next stage of the competition.
Meanwhile, Rennes have struggled and sit bottom of Group E after goals from Callum Hudson-Odoi and Olivier Giroud handed the Blues the win.
Clearly disappointed with the result, the cameras caught Camavinga receiving some words of wisdom from his fellow Frenchman.
"Sometimes you have to swing when you’re behind,” Zouma told Camavinga at the end of the game. "We do it sometimes.
"When there is pressure, you lose the ball and a goal. Every time it’s like this! It happened against PSG too."
