Criticized and victim of death threats, Alvaro Morata empties his bag and scratches his detractors

Alvaro Morata bangs his fist on the table. Out of efficiency since the start of the Euro, author of a small goal in three matches despite a slew of clear chances, the Juventus Turin striker is the symbol of a Roja in search of benchmarks and references. On the air Cadena Cope, the 28-year-old spoke about the criticisms the selection has received since the start of the competition. A situation that has gone way beyond the limits according to the center forward.

Because the limits have been crossed for Alvaro Morata, and that is saying something. If he has received his share of criticism, social networks have also been virulent towards his family. “I spent 9 hours without sleep after the game against Poland. (…) I received threats, insults towards my family, people who hoped that my children would die … but I’m fine. Maybe a few years ago I would’ve been fucked up“, explained the Iberian, deeply touched by the situation.

“What worries me is that they can say about my wife and my children”

If the Juventus Turin striker does not shirk his responsibilities and assumes his last ups and downs, it is above all anger that prevailed in the player yesterday. “Maybe I didn’t do my job the way I should have. I understand that I am being criticized for not scoring a goal, but I would like people to put themselves in my shoes and imagine what it is to receive threats, to hear people hope that your children die… Every time I walk into a room, I put my phone in another place. What worries me is that they can say it about my wife, they say it about my children. They say anything and everything.”

Qualified for the round of 16 where she will challenge Croatia, the reigning vice-world champion, La Roja hopes to build on her good outing against Slovakia (5-0) to continue her flight. Alvaro Morata, he intends to continue to “do not let go and continue to give his life for the selection.”
