He then told them to “stop f**king pushing”, after which a man in the background audibly reprimanded others for jostling around. Apparently, there were children in the crowd, and the player was likely concerned for their safety.

After all, the situation could have been potentially disastrous had he not stepped in.
There were those who even said he deserved the captain’s armband for his actions.
