Veteran Belgian defender Alderweireld once again encountered cyber violence and the club will investigate
2023-05-10 15:25The 34-year-old Belgian defender Toby Alderweireld publicly complained on social media today that he encountered various death threats involving himself and his family on social media after the last round of the League One.
Alderweireld is a veteran who is currently playing for Royal Antwerp. He has played for Ajax in the Eredivisie, Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Southampton in the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur. He also won the FIFA World Cup third place on behalf of the Belgian national team in 2018 and is a member of Belgium's so-called "golden generation". Alderweireld chose to retire from the national team earlier this year and bid farewell to international football.
Alderweireld helped the team open the scoring in the Ligue 1 match against Genk at home on Monday, and finally defeated Genk 2-1 to win. But Alderweireld, who scored in this game, became the target of rival fans on social media. And he has been a star who has been bullied online for a long time.
Today, Alderweireld took a screenshot and posted information about the insults and hatred posted by opponent fans against him, including death threats to him and his family.
Alderweireld questioned the perpetrator angrily on social media, and expressed that he did not understand what effect the perpetrator wanted to achieve by writing these threatening messages. But Alderweireld emphasized that any tolerance for things has a limit. Although he can bear a lot of abuse, he cannot bear words and deeds that threaten his family anyway.
Genke condemned fans' online abuse of Alderweireld. The general manager of Royal Antwerp, Sven Jacques, issued a statement, pointing out that many players and coaches have experienced the same experience as Alderweireld, and those who make such behavior should be punished.
Royal Antwerp will therefore carry out an identity check on the perpetrators of cyberbullying and will also file charges against them.
