Spartak publicly mocks Larsson’s departure. But why are haters better than traitors?

In Moscow, they immediately forgot about the successes of the Swedish legionnaire. Why go for the spiteful critics?
Jordan Larsson, by his own example, was convinced of the truth of the saying: there is only one step from love to hate. Yesterday’s favorite of Spartak fans could silently leave the club, keeping a good memory of himself. However, the Swede did not want to do this, publicly rejoicing at FIFA’s permission not to return to Russia.
Now it’s really better for him not to come back. In an instant, the footballer had a whole army of haters in our country. But the most important thing is that Spartak itself joined in the attacks on the player.
The club ridiculed yesterday’s hero. An answer unworthy of the “people’s team”!
Let the golden boar return
Swedish striker Jordan Larsson has officially terminated his relationship with Spartak. This was reported by the press service of the “red-white”. It is worth saying that the Swedish legionnaire actually left the club in the spring, moving to AIK until the end of the season. After FIFA allowed foreigners not to return to the Premier League for another season, the football player was actually freed from labor obligations that connected him with Moscow.
– For me, this is a positive decision, given that I have only one year left on my contract with Spartak. Thus, I will not have to return to Russia,” Larsson said.
Larsson, it would seem, did not do anything special: in the summer, our championship will miss many other legionnaires. However, some of them were smart enough to silently take advantage of the situation and leave. Jordan, for some reason, decided to speak out publicly, and in such a tone that most Spartak fans will now remember him as a scoundrel, not a hero.
After such words, one should not be surprised at the decision of the Red-White leadership to terminate the contract. However, what else remained – not to continue to pay him a salary as a sign of respect. The reaction of the fans was also generally expected. Only a few wished the Swede a good journey and a happy career.
— Thank you for the season 2020/2021 — was the best
– Well, after all, CSKA’s goal was beautiful.
The wishes of rare well-wishers on social networks were lost in a huge stream of hatred and obscene language, which hardly anyone will translate to a Swede.
– Ruined his career. Not at all sorry.
– I want to finish with football, having received an injury of crosses.
– To him as a human being, they paid a salary, no one hated, but he talks with his tongue. Don’t ever come back!
– Let him go to Sweden and score three goals a season.
– Oh, just lost money. But apparently everything was going to this when he just quit playing and they stopped making a star out of him.
But we used to love him…
How do I get that bastard’s T-shirt back? Or take his last name?
– An ungrateful creature, he always respected his father, but then the apple fell far from the apple tree.
– Absolutely unacceptable statements, even words of gratitude do not need to be written to him. Jordan betrayed the Russians who loved his game and paid him money. You can’t be such a boor, good riddance.
– Let him return the golden boar.
– I hope that in the first match for the new team your leg will be broken and you will finish with football. Even though you’re done.
Not particularly regretting the very fact of the legionnaire’s departure, the fans were much more upset that Larsson was leaving the club for free, although some time ago several million could be earned for him.
– 8 million blew.
– Last summer, Wolfsburg could have been sold for 10.
– You could earn 10-12 million on this dog. We hope he gets everything back. So he will not find a club for himself and will play out in Japan.
“Agent 007”
The emotions of the fans in this situation are understandable in this situation: Larsson really did, to put it mildly, not very well. But the press service of the team reacted quite unexpectedly to the departure of the Swede.
An image of Jordan in the style of James Bond appeared in the official Telegram channel of Spartak. With a note: Thank you for a busy season in the RPL, agent No. 007! On a makeshift poster, it was possible to make out why the Swedish agent had such a number: “0 goals, 0 assists, 7 interviews.”
Why Spartak supported the most aggressive fans and mocked its own player is a rhetorical question. The club has more than once over the past season turned on the “resentment mode” and exchanged barbs with all sorts of opponents, but the case with Larsson is special. Now the “red-whites” have sent media guns already at their own partner, albeit yesterday.
Instead of smoothing the corners and not becoming like an overly talkative Swede, the club decided to make a real scandal out of an unpleasant story. And this obviously does not do honor to the “people’s club”.
