Hello Sasha,
If you allege something you say that it may be true but that there is no proof, it is often used in the media to protect the author against lawsuits.
To shove means to push roughly with the hand.
I have listened to that video clip several times and still can't understand what the boy said!
Hope this helps

"Alleged" means that someone is being accused of something, although it hasn't been proved or verified. Newspapers and other Media outlets often use the term to avoid any possible legal action. Also, "alleged" is not a verb, it is an adjective and the correct use is "Jose Mourinho is alleged to have...". Often, especially on headlines which must be short, small words are omitted. "Shoved" means to push someone hard, either to push them out of the way or push them backwards in an aggressive manner. I'm sorry, I have no idea what the child is saying. I have listened a few times and can't make it out. I thought it might be "weak, man." or "waste, man", but neither make sense!
