VIDEO: Gueye and Keane End Feud with Training Ground Boxing Match After Shocking Man Utd Clash
Everton teammates Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane have publicly moved past thier heated on-field altercation during the recent match against Manchester United, resolving their differences with a controlled sparring session at the club’s training ground. The incident, which saw gueye receive a red card, sparked widespread discussion about passion and discipline within the team.
The confrontation occurred during a tense moment in the match, and immediatly after, Toffees manager David Moyes defended his players, stating that a display of passion and aggression is what he expects from his squad. Moyes also suggested the referee may have been hasty in issuing the red card.
“I like my players fighting each other if someone hasn’t done the right action,” Moyes explained. “If you want that toughness and resilience to get a result, you want someone to act on it. If nothing happened (no red card), I don’t think anyone in the stadium would have been surprised. I thought the referee could have taken a bit longer to think about it. I was told that, by the rules of the game, slapping your own player could be problematic. I’m disappointed we got the sending off. But we’ve all been footballers, we get angry with our teammates.” He further confirmed Gueye had apologized for his actions.
Following a period to allow tensions to cool, Gueye issued a public apology. “I want to apologise first to Michael Keane.I take full obligation for my reaction,” Gueye stated. “I also apologise to my teammates, the staff, the fans, and the club. What happened does not reflect who I am or the values I stand for. Emotions can run high, but nothing justifies such behavior. I’ll make sure it never happens again.”
The subsequent training ground sparring session, captured in video footage circulating online, appears to have been a mutually agreed-upon way for the players to demonstrate their reconciliation and reaffirm their commitment to the team. It’s a clear signal that despite the heat of the moment,the pair are focused on moving forward together.
