An Arsenal-supporting father asked Mikel Arteta for minutes of signatures for his son but did not receive a positive response; the footage sparked a major controversy.
The dialogue between Arsenal's head coach Mikel Arteta and a fan became a hot topic on social media. A father wanting to get an autograph for his young son did not receive a response from Arteta for a long time.
"PLEASE, MY SON LOVES YOU VERY MUCH"
As the father approached the Spanish coach's car at the stadium exit, he called out for minutes, saying that his son is a big fan. In the footage, the father can be heard saying, "Please, my son loves you very much. An autograph, please."
RECEIVED A NEGATIVE RESPONSE
However, it was seen that Arteta left the area without giving an autograph due to his busy schedule. Those moments quickly spread on social media and sparked a debate among football fans.
While some users argued that Arteta's schedule might be busy, others stated that a young fan's request should not be turned down.
