«Breaking News» Troy Deeney reveals brutal tactics to stop Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha

Troy Deeney has admitted Watford players 'take it in turns' to kick Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha and also believes he can influence referees by using the forward's words against him.

Zaha recently called for more protection from referees after growing tired of the rough treatment dished out to him by Premier League defenders.

And his suspicions appear to have been confirmed by Deeney, who revealed Watford came up with a specific plan to take it in turns to foul him to make sure no one got sent off.

Stats from Premier League 2018-19 

Speaking on BBC Radio Five Live, Deeney said: 'You take it in turns kicking him. I know no one wants to hear that, but you go; "You hit this time, you hit him the next time", you don't have the same player tackle him because you know you're gonna get booked.'

Watford beat Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road earlier this season, winning 2-1 with Zaha scoring what would turn out to be a consolation goal.

He scored despite being on the end of several rough challenges, including one from Etienne Capoue, who appeared to rake his boot down Zaha's achilles. 

The Ivory Coast international came out in a blaze of fury following another rough experience against Huddersfield and said he feared for his safety unless referees offered him more protection. 

Zaha lamented: 'I know that for a fact [opponents are out there to hurt me] but I just don't know what to do anymore.

'I end up arguing with referees because today the guy studded me in my shin - do they need to break my leg before anyone gets a red card?'

Zaha spoke of his fear that a defender would overstep the mark and break his leg in a match

However, Zaha has also been accused of simulation in the past and Deeney believes he could use the Crystal Palace forward's words against him in order to get into the referee's head.

Deeney continued: 'You can flip it and start being more psychological with the referees.

'If we were playing him this week and he'd just said those comments I'd have been like: "Ref, don't you be the first one to give him a pen. Don't you start going easy on him". 

'You want to say to him (the ref) in that little meeting we have an hour and a half before kick-off; "Do you want to be the first one to give him a penalty for diving?"'

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Troy Deeney: 'If you were playing against him, you stop him. You take it in turns of kicking him. I know no one wants to hear that, but you go; "You hit this time, you hit him the next time". You don't have the same player tackle him because you know you're gonna get booked. 

'It's difficult, but also as a captain I'd be the first... if we were playing him this week and he'd just said those comments I'd have been like: "Ref, don't you be the first one to give him a pen. Don't you start going easy on him".

'You can then flip it and start being more psychological with the referees.

Chris Sutton: So you can get into the referee's head? 

Deeney: 'You want to say to him (the ref) in that little meeting we have an hour and a half before kick-off; "Do you want to be the first one to give him a penalty for diving?"

Sutton: 'So do you think that referees can be influenced?'

Deeney [laughing]: 'Clearly'

Sutton: 'That plainly isn't right though, is it?'

Deeney: 'It's human nature.'

Ian Wright: 'You're trying to get an edge. 

Deeney: 'Until we get robots doing it, there's gonna be human error, so you try to play to that advantage.'

Sutton: 'It shouldn't happen! The referee should have the integrity, with respect, that they don't listen.'

Deeney: 'They might not listen to people, for example, we all know that Wilf is emotional on the pitch, so when he does get tackled and feels he's been fouled, the first thing he does, he goes screaming and shouting at the referee. Now it's human nature, if you're screaming and shouting at someone, you're not going to do them a favour are ya?'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
