The daughter of Arsenal’s technical director Edu has pleaded with fans to stop sending her abusive messages after the defeat to Chelsea on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta was targeted by Arsenal supporters after the 2-0 loss to the Blues as he was harassed in his car as he left the Emirates.
Arsenal have now lost both of their Premier League games this campaign and face another tough game this weekend as they travel to the Etihad to face Manchester City on Saturday.
Arsenal fans booed the team at the break and after the full-time whistle during the defeat to Tuchel’s side.
And Edu’s daughter, Maria Gaspar, has revealed that she has been targeted by Arsenal fans. She said: ‘Guys, unfortunately, if it continues like this I will have to deactivate my comments from my photos and leave it to the people I follow because I can’t stand it, I can’t stand any more insults.
‘Every day I used to go in to answer some people who send me messages on the direct message, but nowadays I can’t go in there anymore, there’s only cursing.
‘I don’t have much patience anymore, if I answer them all I’ll spend more than a day losing my mind with it, so I just ignore it.
‘My father has been in this life for a long time, with criticism and praise, you know, but for me, I’m not used to it and it’s a business that hurts a lot, but that’s how we learn.
‘Stop sending me the direct messages saying, ‘what happened?’ for god’s sake, read and you will know! I don’t have the head to explain each one because they are cursing my father, there are people who are still asking me, ‘why are they swearing?’.
‘Look at everything my father has won, look at everything my father has done. I’m not here to talk about it, I know about my father’s potential and all that but we will have to stay in this life full of highs and lows, full of criticism and praise.’
