According to the Tasnim news agency, the release of a video in cyberspace, which also shows West Ham defender Kurt Zuma beating his domestic cat, has caused the 27-year-old player a lot of trouble.
Just 24 hours after the video was released, he played for West Ham against Watford and, as might be expected, both groups of fans did not hand him over. Before the match and when the players went to the pitch to warm up, the fans of both teams booed Zuma.
The French player, however, continued to be the target of insult every time he got the ball. The funniest part of the fans’ criticism of Zuma, however, was when he fell to the ground during a collision with Watford’s Josh King, grabbed his ankle and screamed in pain. It was then that the guests of the visiting team shouted in unison: “Now look how your cats feel!”
London police, meanwhile, have said they will not pursue an investigation into what happened at Zuma’s home because it is not within the agency’s remit. West Ham officials also said they were looking into the matter inside the club, but manager David Moyes indicated that he did not take the matter too seriously by including the player in the squad. Of course, Zuma has been forced to apologize for the feedback he has received from the released clip.
