Hollantilaisfutaaja Edgar Davids jätti pari viikkoa sitten Tottenhamin ja palasi kulta-aikansa seuraan Ajaxiin. Mediassa on ollut paljon puhetta keskikenttämiehen ja valmentaja Martin Jolin välisistä kinoista. Netissä osui silmään yksi mielenkiintoinen versio tapahtuneesta.

The antics of Edgar Davids behind the scenes at White Hart Lane have been revealed now the Dutchman has left the club to join Ajax. The News of the World yesterday revealed details of the bust up that led to boss Martin Jol telling the fiery Davids he could leave the club and also more details of his earlier brawl with team mate Robbie Keane.

The paper quotes an unnamed source as revealing:

"Robbie and Davids had a run-in on the training ground and it was still going off between them in the dressing room.

"Davids was really mad and offered Robbie outside, not realising he was once an amateur boxer in Ireland.

"Robbie said ok - they went outside and Robbie floored him with one punch."

The source also revealed details of the incident that led to Jol finally telling Davids he could leave the club:

"When someone scored (in training) the boss had a go at Davids for not marking his man properly.

"And that was it - Davids exploded. He screamed back saying: 'Who the hell are you to talk to me like that - what did you ever win? I won all the trophies - not you!'

"Jol stayed calm at first and just replied 'I'm not interested in this conversation'

"But Davids was fuming and carried on swearing and shouting at the boss. In the end Jol just snapped back: 'It's over - you can go.' And he meant it. The next thing we knew he had joined Ajax. I don't think anyone will miss him here."


Kovia tekstiä. Lähteenä on tosin aina yhtä luotettava The News of the World, joten tämä voi olla aivan satuakin.
