This Monday, Everton won on the road to Manchester United (0-1). A great victory for the Toffees who nevertheless faced controversy during the meeting. Indeed, at the start of the match, Idrissa Gana Gueye was sent off after wanting to fight with his teammate Michael Keane. After apologizing to his teammate, the Senegalese midfielder caused an uproar on the other side of England. However, the former PSG was able to count on the unexpected support of Ruben Amorim. Better yet, the 40-year-old Portuguese coach admitted that he would like to have players who want to fight among themselves in his squad at a post-match press conference:
“Fighting is not a bad thing. Fighting doesn’t mean they don’t love each other. Fighting is when you lose the ball and you fight because you lost it and conceded a goal. That’s what I felt watching the match. I do not agree with this expulsion. So I would say that… We can fight between teammates. I know it’s violent behavior, the referee explained it. I don’t agree with that. I hope my players fight among themselves when they lose the ball.»
