Some kids are Mount, and others are Azpilicueta…Despite the fact the pair shared a locker room, thousands of practices and hundreds of games for the Blues in the previous 11 years, their reactions to leaving Chelsea in this transfer window are quite the opposite.Cesar Azpilicueta cried his way through an emotional farewell video after it was confirmed he was leaving the club to join Atletico Madrid. After winning every trophy available, the 33-year-old has called time on his 11-year career with the Blues. He leaves as one of the most decorated players in Chelsea history.We are bidding an emotional farewell to a Chelsea great. Thank you for everything, @CesarAzpi. 💙 pic.twitter.com/wHDcALJX5m— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 6, 2023 Azpilicueta joined the club from Ligue 1 side Marseille in 2012 and made 508 appearances. The defender played under nine different permanent managers during his time with the Blues.Azpi, who began tearing up immediately in the video, said: “It is difficult to express with words what I feel. It has been incredible and just thank you, to everyone. This is my home and I hope to see everybody back here one day.”𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝒸𝒶𝓁𝓁𝑒𝒹 𝓂𝑒 𝒟𝒶𝓋𝑒, 𝐼’𝓁𝓁 𝒶𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒸𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒽𝑜𝓂𝑒 💙 pic.twitter.com/hSAk2DS7h8— César Azpilicueta (@CesarAzpi) July 6, 2023 However, unlike the Spaniard, Mason Mount left a farewell message that the Blues’ supporters received with shock and despise. In a video posted on Tuesday, the midfielder reflected on some of the highlights of his time at Chelsea as both a senior and academy player, including their Champions League triumph in 2021.Mason Mount’s farewell to the Chelsea fans. pic.twitter.com/8hYQasX6P3— CFC-Blues (@CFCBlues_com) July 4, 2023 He acknowledged that some Chelsea fans might not like his decision but said it was one that was right for him at this moment of his career. But the problem is that his video appears to have gone down like a lead balloon with Chelsea fans who feel that this message was ‘scripted’.Just seen someone say that Mason Mount must have had that farewell video recorded over a month ago 😭😭(Bottom Right is him at Carrington today) pic.twitter.com/l1KaP7OekM— CFC-Blues (@CFCBlues_com) July 4, 2023 They also pointed out that Mount had blonde hair in his video, though he has been pictured with brown hair at United’s Carrington training facility for his medical this week. And, of course, no tears nor emotions actually, too. Just goes to show how loyalty is much more than a word… ##NAJAVA_MECA_7353138##
