In the world of football, criticism is part and parcel of the game. However, when criticism turns into online abuse, it crosses a line. This is the unfortunate reality that Alex Iwobi, a talented footballer managed by Marco Silva, has been facing.

Marco Silva comes to the defense of the Nigerian footballer who was subjected to online abuse following Nigeria’s loss in the AFCON final. Marco Silva expresses his support for Iwobi, acknowledging his mental strength, and shares that fan reactions, especially in the digital world, can be unfair and beyond players’ control.

Iwobi, described as a happy individual when playing, finds comfort in the support of his team and community. Despite the online negativity, Silva reassures fans that Iwobi will be playing in the upcoming game for Fulham.
