Although the exact reason for the confrontation has not been revealed, it is speculated that the dispute arose when Dinas apparently took over the mixed zone to interview the National Team players. This behavior would have bothered Wehdeking, who did not hesitate to express his annoyance.
The altercation was recorded in a video broadcast on social networks, where several cameramen and journalists can be seen witnessing the tense moment. Despite the noise and background music, some phrases can be heard among the journalists. Dinas, visibly upset, tells Wehdeking: “I’ll stop the player,” to which the Win Sports journalist responds: “Which one should stop him?”
The discussion escalates quickly. At another point in the video, Dinas replies to Wehdeking: “Get here,” while the Win Sports journalist complains: “The player is not yours.” The tension continues to rise with exchanges such as “You fucked with me” from Dinas, to which Wehdeking responds: “You fucked with me.”
As the discussion progresses, Dinas challenges his colleague saying: “Then ask, don’t be reluctant and ask, if you have the balls, come in.” Wehdeking does not remain silent and answers firmly: “I do have eggs… respect the work.” The video ends with no word on how the exchange ended, leaving many wondering what happened next.
