At the end of the derby last night (Sunday), Nir Klinger sharply attacked Maccabi Tel Aviv fans when he said that he was sorry for the glitch or muscle tear he had during the time he played in the yellow uniform. Today, Amit Klinger, his daughter, wrote a post on social media and addressed the issue.
"As one who has lived for 26.5 years as the 'daughter of', one should know how to react accordingly, develop an elephant's skin and differentiate between the bland and the main. In recent months I feel it has already crossed the line. "Whether it's the personal injury to the man most dear to me in life - the situation is bad," Klinger wrote.
The coach's daughter added: "I wonder if anyone can step into my shoes and understand what it feels like to see your father, the best person in the universe, the one who gives his soul to his family and his team - injured so low and unsportsmanlike. I will not expand on a handful of Maccabi fans Tel Aviv who decide to make fun of such a low-income person who gave them his life. I will appeal to all football fans wherever they are: enough violence. Enough racism. Enough of not accepting the different. Enough bad words. Enough hurting another person. Love and adore my father and stand "Behind him in whatever he chooses to do. Let's enjoy this fun sport called football. Free love is everything in life."
