Both Premier League stars endured a torrid time during the latest international break.
It comes with the territory, every individual who embarks on a career in the professional game knows what to expect.Often, it has nothing to do with their ability — Ireland international James McClean, for instance, has received death threats over his refusal to wear a poppy.In August 2022, a study revealed the identities of the two most abused players on Twitter.
A difficult start to the season in which he has barely played for United became worse during the week. “Harry has a massive heart and it’s a good job he’s mentally strong and can handle it as others may not be able to. I wish this sort of abuse on nobody!”“It pretty much takes the pressure away from my teammates and puts it all on myself,” he said. “It makes them play better, for sure.“I would not say I am a person who struggles with pressure mentally. I have been through a lot in the last couple of years and I have been Manchester United captain for nearly four years.
Recent performances certainly suggest he is feeling the pressure and the overwhelming lack of compassion demonstrated by the majority of those within the footballing community makes for an uneasy watch. This campaign, he has yet to score in four appearances, and he was dropped from the starting XI ahead of the side’s recent win over Burnley.
Days later, the Brazilian newspaper O Globo quoted Richarlison saying that the tearful reaction was a means of “getting the things that were happening off the pitch out of my system”. The fact that Richarlison was comfortable admitting he was planning to “seek psychological help” is a sign of progress in football.
