Popular Super Eagles striker, Ahmed Musa, has penned an open letter to fans, urging them to refrain from further criticizing Alex Iwobi for the team’s recent shortcomings.
Nigerians have been directing criticism towards the Super Eagles player, leading him to deactivate his Instagram account due to the incessant backlash.
Taking to social media, Musa acknowledged the difficulty of losing a game but emphasized the unfairness of singling out one player for the team’s failure.
He reminded fans that victories are celebrated collectively, and losses are endured as a team. Musa appealed for love and genuine support towards all players, highlighting their need for encouragement during challenging times.
In his message, Musa wrote:
“Dear fans, I urge you to stop cyber-bullying directed towards Alex Iwobi. Cyberbullying is not only indecent but also a serious offense. It contradicts the spirit of unity that football promotes.
Losing a game is tough, but blaming a single player for the team’s setbacks is unjust. We succeed and fail together as a team. Alex gave his all on the field, just like every member of our squad.
Instead of spreading negativity, let’s show genuine love and support to our players. They need our encouragement now more than ever. Let’s uplift each other and stand united, in both victory and defeat. ???????????? THANKS #BIG17″
