He even talks about how arrogant Speed has become recently. The players made him famous and now he thinks that he is more famous.
“I’ll kick your a**! I sent you a video on insta and you didn’t even reply. You’ve grown too arrogant… The players made you famous, now you think you are more famous than them?”
You can clearly see on Speed’s face that he was kind of scared and was trying to calm down the situation. Even Pogba said that Speed shouldn’t ignore Zlatan’s message.
In Speed response, he said that he didn’t notice his text on Instagram. In some way, I can agree with this as he is very popular and currently busy with his European tour.
I don’t know whether he has a social media account manager or if he completely runs his Instagram account by himself, but you don’t want to ignore the Lions’ message.
