I didn't want to talk to Lissandro / United legend's confession: I was unaware of the controversy
Peter Schmeichel, who has faced severe criticism, says he was not aware of the Lisandro Martinez controversy.
According to "Sports Three", Schmeichel explained the unpleasant conversation that happened after Manchester United's 2-0 defeat in the Overlap program. The fans were unhappy that he apparently downplayed Lisandro Martinez's harsh criticism of the club's managers' ambitions.
Martinez had recently done a controversial interview with Amazon Prime, and then was directed to CBS Sports. Schmeichel emphasized that he had no knowledge of the defender's previous statements; The issue that caused his attempt to direct the conversation towards a more positive view, from the viewers' point of view, took place at an inappropriate time.
Schmeichel explained the chaotic nature of the post-match quick interviews, saying he was supposed to be interviewing another player. "That interview was over and he was sent to me," Schmeichel said. So, when you look at the interview, you can see that I was a little surprised.
At that moment I did not know what he said. I had no idea that he criticized so strongly. "I didn't realize that he said such things, and for that reason, my interview came out a little clumsily in the context of the whole story."
