I agree. It's insolent behaviour like that, that has no place in any modern sport. He needs to grow up, people idolise him. He should start acting like a professional athlete, not an animal.

You guys are idiots , He doesent choose to be this type of person , Thats who he is , Changing that IS changing him . You take that out of him , And he is no longer diego costa - Thats how he was raised - He was bullied and it was either be aggresive , Or be bullied.

When you grow up with that , Its hard to just "Switch it off" , In general this aggresiveness he has fine , Every now and then he steps over the line.

But vertonghen does alot of the same stuff Costa does , Lots of players push and shove players , Square up to them etc and nothing is being said.

That's like saying "I don't mean to be racist" or "I didn't mean to hit my wife" he is so aggressive because he chooses to be. He is still Diego Costa. He is only less aggressive, which is good. He's no longer bullied, no point upholding the insolent behavoiour.

It's not hard to switch off, I was bullied throughout primary school. I'm not reckless and aggressive.

Were you in a position where you were phyiscally abbused when you played sport? , When you were getting bullied aswell - You knew that wasent the "Norm" - Where he lived - Fighting etc was the norm.

Thats like saying , Taking out Xavis good passes and Xavi is still Xavi - He is known for his great passing.

Like Ramieres is known for his pace , Azpi for his great defending / stability , Fabregas for his assissts - Costa for his aggresiveness.

Yeah... I had my legged literally snapped in half playing rugby, I had to retire at 17. Google open fractures, that's what happened to me.

Well you ovbiosuly didnt get accustomed to the aggressive nature like costa did then , He was used to it by the time he was 10 , Let alone 17.

Aggressive play is natural in rugby. My team would get into fights, pretty much every game.

Fletcher wrote Don't know why we're talking about rugby.. but having your leg broken in any sport isnt necessarily aggression, you can be tackle badly or you can land on something awkwardly.

I also can't be arsed to read back to where this debate started, but CompleteDesigns is right. Its not a case of growing up, its obviously hardwired into his nature - look at Suarez, still doesn't learn after piles of bans and sanctions. Costa is also from Brazil, where you are brought up with different customs and cultures.

I went to a boarding school where we had plenty of South Americans, we would play football together, some were in out 1sts/2nds, and its easy to see its not just individual, they all played how we would see as "dirty" but to them was natural. Costa isn't being immature, or overly aggressive, he is playing the game he was brought up to play..

Fletcher wrote Don't know why we're talking about rugby.. but having your leg broken in any sport isnt necessarily aggression, you can be tackled badly or you can land on something awkwardly, doesn't mean the opposition intentionally wanted to hurt you. I know plenty of people who have had career ending injuries in Rugby, because of the general manner of the sport. In a game where 15 grown/huge men are throwing their full weight at their opponents in order to tackle them etc you will always get injuries. Saying people get injured purely because of aggression is like saying Steve Abbott should be locked up for bowling the ball that killed Phil Hughes. Accidents happen.

Yeah I agree he is from Brazil and they're probably more aggressive there as they're not as strict with aggression, plus when they're playing footy in the favelas they're going to make bad tackles all day long.

But that being said, how much is he on? I'm going to take a guess at close to 200,000 pounds, that should be the incentive not to be aggressive on the pitch.

Well thats exactly my point, there is no incentivising people to change their nature. You could pay him a mil a week and he'll still be Diego Costa, its who he is.

This is what people arent getting.

There is no "On/off" switch to this , Its not like "Oh im earning 200k a week , I should stop this now"

There is no on/off switch , Well there is (Kind of)

He walks off the pitch = off
he walks on the pitch = on

He isnt around his house pushing people , But at the same time - He isnt intentionally "Turning on" to be the aggresive player - He says he always fires himself up - And battleing with the CB is what gets him in the mood.

Now again , That goes too far sometimes (Marquinhes i think is the only example) but 1) its not as often as people make out 2) alot of the sitations arnt as bad / arent his fault (Stamps) 3) The CBS usally give back + want to wind him to get him sent off 4) Its only being portrayed this bad as he is at CFC who are in the limelight , And he is in the limelight.

You can bet if he came here and he scored 2-3 goals , No one would be trying to get him banned for a stamp/push , or whatever.People would just ignore it (Like they do vertongehn etc) because no one cares if your not in the limelight.

Costa is.
