Liam Delap, now at Chelsea, has responded to speculation surrounding the apparent curse of the number nine shirt, emphasizing that he does not subscribe to such superstitions. Coming off a successful season at Ipswich Town, where he scored 12 goals, he was a sought-after striker in the transfer market. Chelsea paid his £30m release clause, and he debuted with an assist at the Club World Cup. Delap expresses excitement about the competition at Chelsea and views the number nine shirt merely as a designation for strikers, devoid of pressure or curse.
No, I'm not that type of person. It's something that people speculate about but it doesn't mean anything to me. At the end of the day, it's just a number.
It's something that's related to strikers so I chose it. At the end of the day, it doesn't really mean a lot, it's just a number.
