Kyle Walker's altercation with Felipe Melo after Manchester City's 4-0 Club World Cup win against Fluminense caused quite the stir. Tempers were high after the game and Melo had to be dragged away from the altercation with Kyle Walker.
The Brazilian was not happy with Jack Grealish and accused him of mocking Fluminense's players by shouting 'ole' during the match. However, Grealish quickly took to social media to deny Melo's claims.
"I've already seen on social media idiots saying that I started a mess," Melo said after full time. "Just as the idiots said that I started the mess with the goal that Gremio scored. In the game against Gremio, I calmly went to ask the athlete celebrating with their fans. And they ended up creating a mess. And I didn't want a mess. Today Grealish was disrespectful towards the Fluminense institution and I will never let that happen."
Grealish denied Melo's accusations and responded on Twitter, "Not once did I say ole". He went on to explain that he was never disrespectful to the Fluminense institution and was only trying to defend Martinelli, who was being cornered by the athlete.
The incident caused quite the stir but the truth of the matter is that Grealish never said 'ole' and was only trying to help out his teammate. It's a reminder that athletes should always respect their opponents and not let tempers flare during a match.
