Replaced during the match on Tuesday in the Champions League, Ivorian striker from Union Berlin Datro Fofana did not hide his bad mood, he who has still not scored with the club to which Chelsea loaned him this summer .
Week after week, match after match, the season of Union Berlin and its Ivorian striker David Datro Fofana turns into an ordeal. Tuesday evening, the club from the German capital suffered his third defeat in as many Champions League matches against Naples (0-1) and the second in a row at the Olympiastadion, where the Iron Men host in C1 due to lack of a stadium meeting UEFA standards.
Replaced a few minutes after the opening score for Neapolitans (70th), the player on loan from Chelsea pointedly snubbed his coach Urs Fischer, passing by the Swiss without a glance or a gesture. General manager Oliver Ruhnert then spoke with the striker on the substitutes’ bench. During the post-match press conference, the coach announced that he would have a conversation with his young player.
Apologies before a click?
Aware of his gap, Datro Fofana quickly apologized with his teammates. “This gesture was not intentional and in no way represents my attitude. This all came out of my frustration because I wanted to continue helping the team achieve a positive result”, wrote the 20-year-old on his Instagram account. Union captain Christopher Trimmel preferred to put the incident into perspective. “Situations like this with David happen frequently in football, said the Austrian. The only important thing is how he reacts. Whether he apologizes or not. »
If the person concerned therefore apologized, his reaction is impatiently awaited by supporters of the Union, who remain on nine consecutive defeats : in 11 matches, the native of Ouragahio still hasn’t found the net and currently symbolizes a failed summer recruitment, also embodied by Leonardo Bonucci and Kevin Volland.
