Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Felipe Melo used his hand and fingers to count four goals to reveal how many goals Manchester City scored against Fluminense.
While clearly an occasion of celebration, the England defender found himself involved in an altercation with the 40-year-old midfielder.
After being pushed by Melo, Walker had to be held back by his teammates and Man City’s backroom team to ensure that the celebratory occasion didn’t turn sour.
Frustrations had been boiling over for Fluminense during the second half of the contest, largely due to Man City’s dominance.
“I think I mirror the team. I am the role model. In football, different people can be role models, young players and more seasoned players. Being 40 years old means I am able to dismantle a game. My motivation is to bring home the bacon.”
There were also five players in their 30s, including former Real Madrid full-back Marcelo, 35, who will be playing in his fifth Club World Cup Final. Melo, who had to be talked out of retiring last year when he left the club’s training ground in tears fearing his body could take no more, insists he is in better shape than Captain Mainwaring.
