Malo Gusto admits he and his Chelsea teammates are enjoying listening to the new song performed by the club’s fans – Three Little Birds by Bob Marley.
One of the most popular songs by Bob Marley and the Wailers, the track was released in 1980 and is still widely loved today.
It was recently embraced by Blues fans during their 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace last month when the second half was postponed due to a technical problem.
Chelsea were trailing 1-0 at Selhurst Park as Three Little Birds played out on the Palace PA system – with both sets of fans joining in to pass the time.
But Blues supporters continued to sing it after completing a second-half turnaround, inserting ‘Chelsea’ at the end of each chorus, which has caught on.
The song’s lyrics include: ‘Don’t worry about a thing… Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!’
Asked if Chelsea’s players were enjoying the chant, Gusto informed Sky Sports: ‘Yes!
‘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.
‘I know the English people love football and that’s the difference from the French. It’s good for the team to have the fans behind us and we are very happy to have them.’
Gusto is also grateful for Chelsea fans chanting his name as the Frenchman added: ‘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.’
