He went on to give some advice to fans on both sides of the border, “I know how passionate people are towards the game but the only thing I would like to say is that ultimately it is a game and let’s respect each other and play the game with the right spirit. Obviously, the players will but the fans and viewers should also do that. Take your lead from the players, show your passion but behave also.”
