The London club beautifully congratulated the former football player of the club Andrei Arshavin on birthday, but then deleted the post on social networks, where angry Ukrainians immediately ran into. The situation is a complete shame and disgrace.
Arsenal at first did everything beautifullyArshavin was one of the leaders of Arsenal and certainly one of the brightest players of that time. Arsene Wenger really wanted to get the Russian after his fantastic game for Zenit and the Russian national team. Andrei repaid the French coach for his trust. Fans loved the short attacking midfielder who put on a show on the pitch on a good day. Yes, the end of his career in London was a little blurred in many respects due to Arshavin's age, but Andrey will forever remain in the memory of the fans as a tough football player.
He scored the winning goal for Barcelona in the Champions League, put a crazy ball on Manchester United at Old Trafford and did a lot more for the club. But, of course, his poker against Liverpool at Anfield stands apart.
That crazy game ended with a score of 4:4 and became legendary. It is perfectly normal that Arsenal decided to congratulate their former football player on his birthday, today Andrei turned 42 years old. And he posted a video with those same goals at Anfield on social networks, wishing the Russian a good day.
And then he severely disgraced It would seem that this is an absolutely traditional situation. This is what most clubs in the world do, especially when it comes to a person who has left a significant mark. But then crazy Ukrainians intervened, who ran into the comments with a package of nasty things, most of which should not be shown to healthy people. Here's the mildest of those words.
- «Another club got into a social media scandal praising Russia or a Russian. Stunning bias «.
- «The saddest thing is that they didn't even realize they did something bad, it's normal for them.»
What do you think happened next? Arsenal have removed a post congratulating Arshavin from social media. This is madness, a nightmare and a complete absence of even the rudiments of adequacy. It seems to be time to stop being surprised by this, but here the British have been very notably disgraced.
Firstly, they could have foreseen the attack of the Ukrainians, especially considering that Oleksandr Zinchenko plays in the club, who has repeatedly spoken out against Russia and did it in the most rude way. Secondly, if you already posted a post, then you took responsibility for the consequences. What's the point of deleting it when in today's world you can take a screenshot and people will still see everything.
This has happened a million times, even when a controversial post was up on the Web for one minute. And then the post with Arshavin hung on social networks for many hours. By sending him off, Arsenal only made things worse and showed that he can be easily manipulated. The situation was best described by the SMM team of the Russian national football team. They wrote, «You can delete a post, but you can't delete a story.» Perhaps there is nothing to add to this.
