Gary Neville involved in beach argument with press in Rio de Janeiro | Gary Neville involved in beach argument with press in Rio de Janeiro |
(35 minutes later) | |
No sooner had the England party arrived in Rio de Janeiro than one prominent member of the backroom staff was caught up in a very public argument. | |
Having checked in to the team hotel half an hour earlier, Gary Neville, Sky pundit and one of Roy Hodgson’s assistants, went for a walk on São Conrado beach along with other members of England’s staff. He then told the photographers and cameramen following him to leave him alone, with one understood to have tracked the former Manchester United defender for over a mile across the sand. | |
“Do you speak English? Back off. I just want to walk on the beach,” Neville shouted at one cameraman. | |
The website Globoesporte also reported that he put his hand over one camera lens and swore. Globo is Brazil’s biggest broadcaster. | |
