'I don't like losing': Wilfried Zaha reveals why he moans on the pitch and insists it is because he 'demands the best' from his Crystal Palace team-mates

Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha says his passion and desire for his team to succeed causes him to 'moan' on the pitch.

Zaha got off to a flying start in the 2021-2022 campaign by scoring from the penalty spot in the Eagles 3-0 win over Tottenham last week. However, many have criticised the winger for being too vocal this season.

The 28-year-old has responded saying he gets 'annoyed' because he 'doesn't like losing' and claims he only 'demands more' from his team-mates as he knows what they are capable of.
