Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama formerly of English side Tottenham Hotspurs has continued his rant against his former employer. He claims he his relationship with the club got even frosty after being left out of the starting line up against Liverpool in the 2019 Champions league final that they went ahead and lost 2_0.
“I was really really pissed off not to start the game. And even more, pissed off because we didn’t win. I tried to encourage those who played. We went back to the hotel after the game. I couldn’t sleep at all. The situation was going around in my head. My brother was (Macdonald) Mariga was also on the bench in a Champions League final for Inter Milan against Bayern Munich (in 2010). He understood the situation,” Wanyama has said.
He was unable to have a face to face discussion with his manager Mauricio Pochettino as he was always busy despite frequent attempts.
However, he met his assistant who urged him to stay calm as his chance would come.
When I came back, the club should have trusted me and given me more chances to play again. I was fit and training well. I never argued with Pochettino but I wanted to speak to him. I went to his office but he was busy. I saw his assistant Jesus (Perez). He told me to be patient and my chance will come blah blah blah,” Wanyama explained.
Wanyama currently plays for club Montreal in Canada under Former Arsenal ace and legend Thierry Henry and is expected to play a crucial role.
