Arsenal and Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday witnessed a verbal altercation between the Gunners captain Granit Chaka and the crowd who chanted against Chaka who responded to them with tusk.
A few days later, after Spanish coach Unai Emery asked Chaka to apologize, the latter apologized to Arsenal fans. "After spending some time to think about what happened on Sunday, I would like to explain the scene that took place after the substitution of the game, which affected me a lot. This club, I renew my commitment in full. "
"My feeling was not understood by the fans. Repeated abusive comments in matches and social media over the past weeks and months have hurt me a lot."
"People tell me: we will break your legs, we will kill your wife, we hope your daughter will get cancer," Chaka said.
"I replied in a way that respects the fans who support the club sincerely," he said. "My intention was not understood.
Chaka's change during Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace was met with cynical cheers from London fans at the Emirates Stadium.
The Arsenal captain was angered by the crowd's reaction and put his hand on his ear, before he took off his shirt and stepped out of the stadium towards the dressing rooms amid boos.
After missing Wednesday's match against Liverpool in the final of the League Cup, which ended in the Reds' penalty shootout victory, it is not known whether Chaka will lead the team against Wolverhampton on Saturday in the Premier League.
