Diego Costa's humour has helped Kieran Trippier settle into life at Atletico Madrid since arriving this past summer, and the striker insists on calling the defender 'Rooney' after English forward Wayne Rooney.
"He calls me Rooney 10 times a day," Trippier said while speaking with MARCA.
"He does it all the time, just for a laugh. But it's Diego, I don't care. We all find it funny and I like that he always makes jokes.
"I knew him from the Premier League and he's the funniest player I've ever played with.
"There's a great atmosphere here and everyone makes jokes, but Costa is the funniest."
