"To Pepe ... i'm not human"
The Malian International player ,Seydou Keita, spoke about what happened between him and Real Madrid's Portuguese player before their last friendly kick off at the Guinness International Champions CupKeita refused to shake hand with Pepe , then throw a bottle of water that hit Pepe's shoulder , despite having apologised for his action , Seydou explained his reasons.
The former Barcelona player said "when I used to play with Barcelona , in one particular Clasico match , Pepe called me a monkey and spit on me , i told myself that a person that could do that is a nobody and has no principles".
"At that time , i didn't want to make a deal out of it , i told my teammates what i intended to do vs Real Madrid, but he came back when i ignored him , walk behind me and spit on me which forced me to throw the water bottle at him"
Keita concluded saying that "Pepe doesn't see me as human , his behaviours are unacceptable , i made a mistake when i reacted like that and i apologize for that , but his actions reflect his lack of respect toward others"
