" It was supposed to be a discussion - and it became a blast. I completely lost my temper, yelled at Guardiola and then knocked my fist on the table in such a way that the plates and cups just clattered. "

I thought I was going to the best medical department in the world, and we had two permanent injuries that should have been healthy long ago. What's that about? ' He said that in an aggressive, reproachful tone. "
