THE CURSE OF THE NUMBER 9 AT CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB
Why Chelsea’s no.9 shirt is said to be cursed? The Chelsea number 9 shirt curse is a superstitious belief among some football fans that the players who wear the number 9 shirt for the Chelsea Football Club are cursed and will experience bad luck, injury, or a lack of form. The origins of the curse are unclear, but it is said to have started in the 1990s when a number of high-profile players, including Mark Hughes, Chris Sutton, and Mateja Kezman, struggled to make an impact while wearing the number 9 shirt for Chelsea. Since then, a number of players have worn the Chelsea number 9 shirt without any significant problems, including Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Hernan Crespo, and Diego Costa. However, the curse has been perpetuated by recent struggles of players like Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain while wearing the number 9 shirt.
