Tempers went high at the training grounds of Hertha Berlin on Thursday as manager Pal Dardai crashed with summer signing Kevin-Prince Boateng during a training match.
The former AC Milan superstar returned to Germany to sign for his boyhood club prior to the start of the 2021/2022 football season.
Although things have been good at the start of the season, KP Boateng’s injury setbacks have meant that he has been unable to make the expected impact.
Amid the October international break, things appear to be getting out of hand. KP Boateng has today been involved in a heated argument with his head coach.
The incident happened when Pal Dardai acting as a referee in a training match whistled against KP Boateng’s team.
The experienced forward who was unhappy confronted his manager and had to be separated by some of the teammates.
Part of Boateng's exchange of words with Hertha Berlin coach captured word for word below:
Boateng in the direction of Dardai: “Oh, don't we discuss bad decisions? No? Do you allow everything? "
Dardai to Boateng: “I am a referee. Why are you arguing with me? "
Boateng: “Then whistle for us!
Dardai: "I don't whistle for you."
Boateng: “Yes, yes. If we're always quiet, don't whistle for us. "
Dardai: “Yes, but the second time offside, I can't not whistle. As simple as that!"
Boateng: "It's not that easy ..."
Dardai: "Yes!"
Boateng: "If we are always calm, it is clear that you always whistle against us."
The hotheads then part ways and the session continues as normal.
