Victor Osimhen, a Nigerian player, has again spoken out against his colleague Alex Iwobi’s cyberbullying.
Iwobi, who received harsh criticism from supporters blaming him for the AFCON defeat, was compelled to erase his social media account to avoid the constant harassment.
Super Eagles players, notably Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, have rallied around Iwobi, showing their love and support for the beleaguered player.
In a recent interview, Osimhen denounced cyberbullying and urged Nigerian football supporters to take a more constructive approach when expressing their views on players’ performances.
Osimhen emphasized football players’ human qualities, claiming that they are not immune to the emotional toll of severe criticism.
He asked supporters to understand that footballers have feelings, and constructive criticism can help motivate players to improve their performance.
The Napoli striker emphasized the significance of creating a pleasant environment for players, particularly during difficult times.
Osimhen accepted that criticism is part of the game, but emphasized the importance of delivering it in a way that promotes progress rather than demoralizes participants.
Furthermore, Osimhen stated that the team has reached out to Alex Iwobi to provide support and encouragement.
He reassured fans that Iwobi is resilient and committed to providing his all for the country in upcoming events.
Osimhen advised fans to support their national teams and players, particularly during difficult times in football.
