The Turkish football federation released a statement that its league must continue despite other countries stopping their leagues cause of the situation in the world right now. Nigerian footballer John Obi Mikel who plays for Trabzonspor didn't like this decision.

Mikel took to his Instagram page to write that there's more to life than playing football during this period that it is best for everyone to be with their family at this time. Legendary footballers Falcao and Didier Drogba supported this decision on Mikel's comment section.

But on the other hand, fans of the club didn't take it likely with him as they poured out their anger in fury. A fan went ahead to say that he should give him his jersey and go home that he himself can die for the club.
