There was a podcast about it afterwards (don’t remember who) where one of the reporters said it was an open secret that those two disregarded most of that kind of instruction. It was all “of course they do, they are Seba and Jozy” but I remember thinking, that is only charming if you win, that could be trouble someday.. like I said, this is a tribute to Vanney that it didn’t become trouble. Mostly.
It was also common knowledge that Seba trained entirely according to his own regimen (and of course had his own trainer, who became Jozy's trainer, who was canned when Seba left, which led to a Jozy dustup)...Piatti and Pozo running their own PK stunt last year is another example.
These types of players that come from big success elsewhere, they are really not going to listen to a Greg Vanney or a Chris Armas. Making sure that you deliver effective management to the rest, and that the insubordination doesn’t infect others, is a tough challenge. I think Armas had trouble with this with Kaku, hope he learned something from that.
