Callum Wilson and Guglielmo Vicario had a fight a few weeks ago when Tottenham played Newcastle.
The striker and the goalkeeper seem to have got into a verbal spat on the pitch, and Wilson made it clear after the game that he felt the goalkeeper didn’t respect him.
Vicario scolded Wilson during the game, but after the game tensions boiled over as the two players became embroiled in disagreements.
Callum Wilson spoke to Footballer’s Football Podcast about the incident and what he actually said to Vicario on the pitch.
What Wilson said to Vicario:
The Newcastle striker told his side of the story.
“Listen, let’s just have a chat, you know how it is in a heated moment. I was stopping a goalkeeper who was playing at speed and colliding, as you do, and at the end of the game he went down 4-1 and the game was over. I had my head and he started pulling faces and I said to him, ‘What are you doing? It’s 4:1, relax. Show some respect. Calm down. Then he started talking nonsense, I switched over and I wasn’t having it, he was getting on my nerves. Then you put me in front of the camera and I got angry,” Wilson said.
Funny:
Are we the only ones who find this a bit funny?
These two are grown men, so why are they arguing about drawing faces during a football match?
You wouldn’t understand this in primary school, but somehow in the Premier League this has become one of the bigger scandals of the last two weeks.
We understand that it is not nice to make a fuss, but it should not be something that sticks with a professional footballer for more than a few minutes, let alone a few weeks later.
