On November 11, in the 11th round of the Premier League, Chelsea drew 1-1 with Arsenal at home. Former Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand was present as a TV commentator to provide analysis on the match.
In the 68th minute, Chelsea player Noni Maduekai was substituted off and immediately stormed off, heading straight to the dressing room. This action immediately drew criticism from the former Red Devils legend, who commented, “This behavior is disrespectful to your teammates. I understand his frustration, but I don’t understand why you would do that. This is a young team, and experienced players should step up and say that this kind of behavior is not acceptable here. He should be fined for two weeks.”
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes, who was also present, added, “We would never do that because Sir Alex Ferguson would have you on the floor.”
