Sports stars are settling scores with the media, the most famous of whom is Zlatan and Mane
In the past hours, the pioneers of social media circulated a video clip showing the Senegalese striker Sadio Mane, the German club Bayern Munich, responding strongly to a journalist who asked him for a comment at the end of a match with his team.
Mane’s words were strong, as he was angered by the way the German media was treated, which confirmed his anger, as he told the journalist, “You attack me daily and want a statement from me.” Then he left without making any statement, despite the gathering of a number of journalists.
Sadio Mane was not the first player to try to convey his message through the media because of the bad treatment, as a number of them take advantage of the opportunity to express strong positions as a result of the rumors and incorrect news that are being raised around them.
The reactions differ, as some of them resort to direct confrontation, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic appeared on a number of occasions confronting the media, as happened on one occasion when he was a player in Paris Saint-Germain, and he entered into a major controversy with a journalist, because of the Swedish star’s anger at the questions.
At the end of last season, after his team, Napoli, defeated Frankfurt in the Champions League final, the Italian coach, Luciano Spalletti, attacked a journalist in the Italian “Sky Sports” network, and reminded him that he leaves no opportunity in order to raise old files related to his problems with the legend Francesco Totti.
As for the Portuguese Ronaldo, he revolted against a journalist in 2015 when he was a player in the Spanish Real Madrid team, when he asked him a question about his expulsion two weeks ago after assaulting his opponent, and Ronaldo’s response was strong, as he considered it illogical to talk about a match that was played relatively long ago, immediately after the end of another meeting that was more important.
On some occasions, players choose to respond via communication platforms, as did the star Kylian Mbappe in order to deny news published by the French newspaper “Le Parisien” about disagreements between him and the club’s management, publishing the news and commenting on it “wrong”, which is what Bruno Fernandez did before him when he wanted to respond to the news of the dispute with Cristiano Ronaldo.
