“Just to hear that word - cancer - it pisses me off, to be honest with you, because that’s not who I am. I’ve never been somebody who didn’t care about my teammates, and I’ve never been that way. And to hear ‘cancer,’ to hear ‘diva,’ things like that, that’s not me.”

There seems to be a misconception about locker room cancers. A lot of folks believe that it’s the one guy in the room who is such a jerk, that everybody hates him. And while that is a variety of cancer, there is another, perhaps more insidious one. It’s the guy who commands the loyalty of part of the locker room, who uses that loyalty to drive a wedge right through the heart of the team.

Вон в "Зените" такая же ситуация: Денисов после прихода "звёздного" Халка высказал недовольство зарплатой, и Спалетти отправил его в дубль. Не знаю, что произошло в "Динамо", но внутри завёлся "червяк", который разъедал команду", — приводит комментарий специалиста "Сегодня".
