This one. He was approached after the Dortmund game like many players are. He didn't go running off to the press. He was asked. Watch the video yourself. This was nothing at all:

You really don't expect a lot from players, do you? Just because you are asked a question doesn't mean you have to answer it. He should have learned that on Day 1 of media training, not now, when he's an experienced international.
Look, to complain about the media making up stories when he consistently gives them obvious fuel for their fire is pure hypocrisy. "Yes, I was fuming" with a cheeky smile might be fine for him, but it's an obvious story in the paper the next day. It's just silly.
He's not a kid, he's a grown man who should and does know better.
