Here are five players who have disobeyed orders from the bench
1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Back in 2010 with AC Milan, the Swedish striker scored an acrobatic effort against Fiorentina and he hurt himself while celebrating.
Milan's boss at that time, Max Allegri called for his substitution but he blatantly refused after suffering the knock.
2. Carlos Tevez
During Tevez's spell at Manchester City, the Argentine had a couple misunderstandings with Roberto Mancini.
Before the final whistle against Bolton in 2010, he signaled to Mancini he was not ready to come off, which he later did after much pressure from the bench, but had heated exchanges with the coach.

5. Cristiano Ronaldo
During the 2017 Champions League second leg match quarter final match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, Zinedine Zidane wanted to bring on Marco Asensio for Ronaldo as the match was heading into extra time.
