“But when the first year after his arrival passed he became distrustful and controlling and started to b**** at me.

“He made me train in the afternoon, treating me like a bully at school. It wasn’t like that, far from it, but that’s the closest comparison. I decided I didn’t want to continue playing for him because he was making me unhappy.

“There came a point where I was already p***** off and I couldn’t take any more of him, so at a captains’ meeting I got up and started yelling at him.

“He dismissed me as captain and I told him I didn’t care because I couldn’t take it anymore. I trained alone from the next day.”
