Amidst the euphoria of the pitch, Malo Gusto, in a candid revelation, conveys the sheer delight shared with his Chelsea compatriots upon the resonation of the new anthem among the fervent fans – none other than Bob Marley’s timeless melody, “Three Little Birds.”
Transporting us back to 1980, this magnum opus from Bob Marley and the Wailers has transcended temporal boundaries, maintaining an unwavering popularity that reverberates in the hearts of enthusiasts even today.
The genesis of this auditory saga unfolded during Chelsea’s triumphant 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace last month, a match fraught with anticipation and unforeseen twists due to a technical glitch that momentarily suspended the second half. Chelsea, trailing 1-0 at Selhurst Park, found solace in the serenade of “Three Little Birds” emanating from the Palace PA system. A harmonious alliance ensued, as both sets of aficionados engaged in a melodic interlude to bide the time. The anthem, however, persisted beyond the temporal confines, becoming an emblematic chorus that now resounds in the hearts of the Blues faithful.
The lyrical tapestry of Marley’s composition offers the soothing refrain: “Don’t worry about a thing… Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!” This lyrical reassurance became the mantra for Chelsea fans, an anthem of resilience and hope.
In a post-match interrogation, when asked about the players’ affinity for this collective hymn, Gusto responded with an emphatic “Yes!” He shared, “My dad loves this song [too]. But yeah, it’s our song, if you can say this. We are very happy to have these type of fans.”
Gusto, delving into cultural nuances, recognized the distinctive ardor of English football enthusiasts, distinguishing them from their French counterparts. He acknowledged the symbiotic relationship between the team and its fervent supporters, expressing gratitude for the unwavering encouragement bestowed upon them.
Beyond the collective celebration, Gusto was humbled by the distinct chant of his name echoing through the stands. Reflecting on this poignant moment, the Frenchman articulated, “One moment, I stopped myself and heard this. I was really, really happy to hear it. Afterwards I just tried to focus on the game and do my best.” Such personal acknowledgments add a layer of intimacy to the shared experience, intertwining the individual narratives of players and fans into the vibrant tapestry of Chelsea’s journey.
