Amad Diallo's spontaneous action from the pain of losing his mother

(NLDO) - The impulsive, ugly action of young Man United star Amad Diallo with the "middle finger" and pain from the bottom of his heart.

After a 0-1 defeat to the ASEAN All-Stars team in a friendly match at Bukit Jalil Stadium (Malaysia), Man United was not only criticized for their lackluster performance but also for the controversial behavior of young star Amad Diallo, his teammate.

Specifically, when leaving the field, Diallo suddenly raised his middle finger towards the audience, causing outrage in Southeast Asia. His teammate Alejandro Garnacho also showed a similar gesture in a photo taken with fans.

Some initially speculated that Amad was upset about being called "Diallo" - a name that was linked to an investigation into fake immigration records when he was playing for Atalanta. However, Man United denied this and said the reaction was an insult to the player's mother.

Diallo's ugly outburst

Diallo also said he was seriously insulted by a group of viewers, directed at his mother: "I respect everyone, but I cannot accept anyone insulting my mother. I shouldn't have reacted like that, but I don't regret it" - he wrote on social network X.

Behind the seemingly unrestrained action of a professional player, there is a deep pain that the young Ivorian player carries in his heart: "the pain of losing his mother".

Fans should remember that Diallo's biological mother, Marina Edwige, who accompanied and supported him on his journey from Ivory Coast to Italy, laying the foundation for his football career, passed away in August 2024. That left a big void in Diallo's heart. He once shared an emotional photo of him as a child with his mother with the farewell message: "Rest in peace, mother, may Allah forgive you."

Not only his biological mother, Diallo still has a stepmother and criticism aimed at his parents, further deepening the young man's pain and emotions.

Amad Diallo left a strong mark last season with 10 goals.

The insults directed at his mother caught Diallo off guard. While his behavior was not consistent with professional standards, the unique circumstances surrounding his life could not be ignored.

However, from the strong reaction of fans and the media, it can be seen that players - especially young faces like Diallo - need to learn to control their emotions better. They are not only athletes but also representatives of an entire club, for the values that football brings.

Amad Diallo made a big impact last season, scoring 10 goals despite an injury, becoming one of Man United's top scorers. But his outburst after the loss to the ASEAN All-Stars is overshadowing that positive form.
