Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has revealed how deals with the social media abuse. Read more ➡️
Xhaka has had a run-in with the supporters before after he clash with fans when he was booed off at the Emirates Stadium pitch in 2019.
The Swiss midfielder lost the captaincy as a result, but he insists he doesn't let the online abuse get to him.“Of course, injuries and things like that stop you as well, but nobody can stop me, not the people outside.“This is why in my head I am so strong. I say that always [to] myself as well, ‘I decide when I leave, nobody else, not the fans, not the people’.
“When I am not ready, I will leave. As long as I am ready and I feel good, and I feel I can help the team, I will be here. But because of the people? Because of a bad message? Because of the bad stuff they are doing, speaking and writing? No chance. “The one thing is if you see the people face to face, they will never tell you something bad. This is what makes me upset.
“I have been in this ‘business’ since I was 17, nearly 13 years, but I have a feeling that the abuse at the moment looks like it’s normal.“For me, it doesn’t help anybody and I think this is something we can improve on, a lot.”
