In a highly-anticipated interview, Portugal star Crowe engaged in a heated conversation with Piers Morgan, expressing his strong displeasure with many aspects of Manchester United. However, Crowe responded to this for the first time during a press conference before the World Cup kicked off. He made it clear that the incident would have no impact on the national team and wanted the media to stop hounding his teammates about him.
In the interview, Crowe revealed that he feels betrayed by Manchester United and questioned the respect of manager Ten Hagar. The club side is reportedly considering legal action to terminate his contract. Despite the turmoil, Crowe is adamant that he has no regrets: "It's easy for the media to write stories about me, so I don't need to think about what other people think, I can say what I want."
In addition, there are reports that Crowe was ignored by his teammates Bono Ferrandis and Zouo Janshiro during training. In response, Crowe also made a public clarification: "I've always had a good relationship with Bono, we were just joking around. When he was late because of a delayed flight, I teased him about whether or not he needed to row; as for Jane, he was a little upset in training, so I just patted him on the neck to show my comfort."
Portugal is preparing for the first round of the Group H group match with Ghana, and Crow, who is striving to win the title for the first time, said that the team's atmosphere is very good, and he emphasized that he will not be affected by this incident, and that the team's primary goal is to focus on the game. He also hoped that the media would stop harassing his teammates: "When the next player comes to the press conference, please stop asking them questions about Crow and just ask about the World Cup, it really bothers me to bring it up so often."
