“There was a hell of a foul. You have to have the humility to hand over the No. 10 jersey that you took away. You messed up the locker room. The other thing is, Gallo came to management and said, ‘Everybody’s paycheck is going to be late, but his paycheck is not going to be late.’ You’re going to be playing by yourself, man. You missed a pass, you didn’t control the ball, and they put you in the position of being a playmaker,” he said.

Asked about the reports regarding the Argentina midfielder, Marcelinho confirmed the truth of the situation. Indeed, for him, this episode highlights the imbalanced situation and disparity in treatment surrounding the cast.

He says Gallo’s complaints are not limited to this episode. Marcelinho reported that the Argentine was already upset after losing his number 10 to a European player, but the financial issues added to his dissatisfaction.

“Gallo was already out because he lost his No. 10 shirt to him (Memphis). Late animal? Memphis was the only one who got it. The guy’s salary was always up to date.” Eventually, the former player sent a message directly to the Dutchman.
