He was known for his fighter temperament then and again on the day, he showed his inability to control his emotions.
Melu but he stressed that he was proud of his actions. After the match, he said, “I told them that I started the fight first, but they didn’t want any confusion. Jack Grealish ignored us. He shouted ‘Ole’ at the end of the match. “I tried to protect Matheus Martinelli, who was being scolded by Grealish. And I will fight for my team no matter where I am.”
Melu emphasized respect. “I always looked up to my opponents throughout my career. Even when we won the Copa Sudamericana 10-1, we showed respect to our opponents. We have to respect our opponents forever and always have to do so,” he said. “I am a warrior. I do not regret this. Even if I return to the same situation, I will do it again.”
While Melu cited Grealish as the cause of the collision, Grealish retweeted Melu’s interview on social networking services (SNS) and refuted, saying, “I never said that.”
