He wasn’t happy, and that was the end of it. I’m at a loss for words since that’s exactly what occurred. I wasn’t happy, but I’m better this way.”
To which the manager replied that it’s his opinion and he can’t change it but he totally respects it. He remembered the good times with the player and supported himself stating that he is not the problem but a 100% solution as he can look in the eyes of any player.
