Joshua Zirkzee missed a hundred percent chance against Ajax Amsterdam, which led to malice and ridicule. Now he has emptied his Instagram page.
Joshua Zirkzee from FC Bayern Munich has completely emptied his Instagram page and deleted all content. This step is probably a consequence of insults on social media after his missed scoring chance in the friendly against Ajax Amsterdam (2-2).
The 20-year-old striker from the Netherlands had waited in front of the goal to finish until Ajax defender Perr Schuurs slipped in between. The scene went viral and drew a number of insults and derisive comments. With the emptying of his Instagram page, Zirkzee wants to take the platform away from critics.
Nagelsmann: “He knows himself that he can solve this better”
“I think Joshua simply didn’t see his opponent. He then wanted to push him in easily. I think and hope that he will show a different seriousness in such a situation in a competitive game,” said coach Julian Nagelsmann. “He didn’t do that on purpose. I won’t talk to him because he knows he can solve it better himself.”
For Zirkzee it was the first appearance in front of a home audience in the Allianz Arena after his unsuccessful loan to Parma.
