Nico Williams decided to close his accounts on social networks after the insults he received, some of a racist nature, for failing several clear chances in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals between Athletic and Osasuna that ended with the pass of the Navarrese thanks to a goal from Pablo Ibáñez in extra time. A decision, that of the Basque forward, which has been analyzed this Thursday by the Sevilla coach, José Luis Mendilibar.
"I do not have, nor do I think I have, social networks in my life. All inventions are for the better, but they are used for evil. It is rare that a social network is flattered, it is usually to mess with someone, on top of that in a bad way. The The players are realizing that not everything is that they get well, they score a goal, they go to the national team... The hosts also come from another side", the Basque coach began his reflection, on the bench of those from Nervión on Saturday against Cádiz.
Mendilibar, who spoke in the preview of the match against Celta, decisive for the people of Seville to stay away from relegation, brought a positive side to social networks, an instrument for players to move away from the virtual world and return to reality , to the closest contact between people.
"I like that from time to time there are things like this to turn things off and get back to normal. Everything is digital today and we rarely see each other face to face. We rarely talk person to person. He's missing that and for It's a bitch to me. Since you can't change the world, let it continue like this," Mendilibar concluded his message.
Williams received the support of both LaLiga and Athletic, which issued a statement explaining that "not everything goes". "More than anyone else I know what happens when you fail and I know what my brother will be going through. In life you lose more than you win and there is no other choice but to make an effort and keep working. My brother has a great future and this will serve as a lesson for him" said his older brother, Iñaki Williams.
