WHAT EIDEVALL SAID
When asked about Hayes' comments, Eidevall said: "I don't see me as aggressive. She is irresponsible putting that label on it. There is a way you behave in the technical area. You need to be a good winner and a good loser. I am happy with the way I conduct myself. Others need to look at themselves in the mirror."
