Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville recently admitted on a show that his comment in 2011 that David Luiz was "like being controlled by a ten-year-old kid playing a video game console" was inappropriate, and revealed the person's private response a few years later. Show partner Roy Keane also shared his thoughts on the scale of commentary.

About the controversial remarks​

Gary Neville said: "We must pay attention to how we express ourselves and be aware of the harm that speech may cause. I once described David Luiz as being controlled by a ten-year-old child in the stands with a controller. I thought it was funny at the time, and everyone thought so too."​

"In fact, four or five years later, he sent me a private message. Although I He didn't repeat the original words, but made a comment like "He's here again," and then he sent me a message saying, "You're here again, my friend." This incident touched me. It turns out that that sentence has always troubled him, and he is also a living person."

About the origin of the original metaphor

"I thought that the four-back system should be very stable. It is rare to see a central defender so reckless. Rushing forward is more like the style of national teams such as Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, and sometimes southern European teams. Laurent Blanc also liked to rush forward with the ball when he joined Manchester United, which often caught people off guard. I wanted to make a humorous comment, but that sentence obviously affected him. "

Roy Keane talks about the commentator's mistakes and apologizes to Maguire

"But commentators also have the right to make mistakes. We should be cautious, but we can't become robots. We also have emotions when watching the game. I hate to sit there and be an emotionless reporting machine. "I criticized Harry Maguire and later apologized to him. If it crosses the line or affects the players too much, it is appropriate to apologize for it. But this does not mean that I think he is not a good guy."
