The Austria international revealed why he put two fingers up at his club’s supporters following their UEFA Europa League loss, and the German side insisted that they will not take action against the player
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martin-Harnik-c24374 claims he was disappointed with the Bundesliga outfit’s fans after their defeat in Europa League, and will not apologise for his behaviour. He said that the gesture was deserved
as he was unhappy with his own supporters following their criticism in Europe.
The Swabians lost 1-0 to Molde last week, but still progressed to the round of 32. The winger lost his cool when during the match their fans criticised the side for their poor performance. Therefore, he reacted angrily and could
not control his emotions which were inappropriate to a certain extent.
The versatile player claimed that the supporters should not celebrate the club’s failings and need to get behind the team through thick and thin. He stated that the fans were unfair to mock them, as they did their best to get a
good result. He suggested that all the players worked really hard, so the whistling was just unbelievable.
"They should not party if we lose and I felt that the way they mocked us was inappropriate," the former Werder Bremen and Fortuna Dusseldorf player was quoted as saying in an interview.
"We gave everything in that game, so we did not deserve to be insulted like that," the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Austria-c2844 forward finally concluded.
The Reds' team trainer http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-c8098 Labbadia conceded that the gesture was inappropriate, but insisted that there is no need to hype up the event. He said the reaction was because of the tempo in the clash.
"After the game everyone was disappointed and it was very emotional. It was a mistake but in football emotions are always difficult to hold back," the former Greuther Furth, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamburger-SV-c39485 head coach added.
Labbadia stressed that after the defeat all the team members were frustrated and it was a bad night overall. He admitted that Harnik made a mistake, but said he did not mean to offend the fans.
