However, it would rather be Jack Grealish that the former Galatasaray player wanted. “I’ve already seen idiots on social media saying that I made a mess, confided Felipe Melo after the meeting. Today Grealish disrespected the institution of Fluminense and I will never let that happen. He shouted ‘olé’ at the end of the match. It’s for the fans, the fans can shout ‘olé. The player on the field cannot fail to disrespect the other club. »
So did Jack Grealish upset the Brazilians during the match, by letting out little “olé”, after a dribble or a pass? The Englishman swears no. “Not once did I say olé”, assured the former Aston Villa player via Twitter.
