October 23rd At the press conference before the Europa League, Crystal Palace forward Mateta responded to the previous controversy between himself and Zaha.
Previously, Mateta said that Zaha and other teammates had ridiculed him that he "will never be selected for the French national team." Zaha then responded angrily that there were about 10 teammates joking together at the time, and they said, "It is too difficult to get into the French team. But we never said the words 'you can never do it.'" Zaha also said: "Seeing someone who I thought was a friend do this It's really disgusting."
At the pre-match press conference against AEK Larnaca, the reporter asked Matta about this. Matta responded briefly: "I have talked to him (Zaha) and everything is fine between us. We talked privately, that's all."
The reporter then asked further whether Zaha had apologized to Matta. At this point Crystal Palace's press officer intervened and said Mateta did not want to answer any further questions about the matter.
