Robin Tehi, 20, scored an own goal when Varnamo lost to AEK.
Then he was hated on social media.
– It’s sad, Varnamos sports director Anis Akhmedovic tells Sportbladet.
Center back, 20-year-old Robin Tehi is on loan from AIK to Värnamo.
On Saturday he faced his former club – and had a rough afternoon.
In the 55th minute, in the 2-2 minute, he headed the ball into his own net via a failed clearance and shortly afterwards in the match, Tihi received another unsuccessful intervention as AIK made it 3-2 (final score).
“sad to read”
After that, he had to put up with quite a bit of hate on social media.
Now, Varnamos’ sports director, Ines Akhmedovic, is furious.
– I think it’s sad. It’s also sad that our opponent today (AIK’s Zach Buddy) was forced to shut down his social media sites for the same reason. No, sad is the word when I describe what I read on social media today. What’s even more sad, Akhmedovic says, is that it affects one of our most professional players in this country.
Coach Kim Helberg agrees.
– He’s mad. Robin Tehy is the best person of that age I have ever met. He is a great person and the leader of this group who always does his best, he said in the post-match press conference.
“We are not happy”
Varnamos sporting director Anis Akhmedovic spoke to Ruben Tehi afterwards.
– I speak to all our players after the matches, but when the situation becomes clear like this, of course you have to make sure that the player is fine. Like I said, Robin is a pro, he handles this pretty well, but the rest of us aren’t happy…
How do you do it when things like this happen? Could it be appropriate to report to the police?
– It’s too early to say at the moment.
Robin Tehy did not give any interviews after the match.
