It's a special kind of "trash talk"!
Why are people so sensitive over after game trash talk?

Yeah, for titled players its authorised, for regular folks it isn't. Still, trash talking sucks and is the reserve of buffoons and scallywags
buffoons and scallywags

The purpose of trash talk during competition is to cause a loss of focus by elevating emotion to the point of distracting an opponent and decreasing their performance. Yet few studies have been done to determine whether trash talk does affect competitive performance.

Plenty of coaches will tell you to 'get your head in the game' because having that mental edge and being mentally focused is incredibly important, especially in sports that require hand-eye coordination. There's always that mental component and trash talk is another form of offense that athletes have to play defense against.

When captaining a church cricket team against a nearby church I was faced with someone I knew to be a good enough batter to win it on his own. Sledging wasn't really an option so I brought the keeper and slips in close and fielded myself at short leg. I told them just to ask him nice and polite questions all the time. He was out for 7 and we won. Doesn't have to be trash talk if you are clever

Maybe he was having a bad day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He was when he was out and we won :) he went on to be leader of the local council. He's a tory so I have no regrets :)
