Carlos Quieroz believes that Didier Drogba received permission to wear a protective cast because he is a superstar.
He is worried that wearing such a contraption could have proved harmful to the Portugese players, i.e., it could potentially injure them. His complaints have no grounds. Does he realize that players with facial injuries wear clear plastic masks which can prove harmful too?
Sounds like the unpopular Portugese manager is trying to deflect criticism for his team’s insipid showing against the Ivory Coast.
