On August 2, AS Roma officially announced the signing of 27-year-old Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk from Spanish side Girona. After the transfer was announced, Dovbyk called Girona a small club and Roma a big Italian team. Because of these words, Artem was criticized by the fans of the Catalan club.
Artem DovbykAlex Cobas: "Shame on you for saying that!"
Miquel Angel Muñoz: "Girona is not just a small club, but a very humble club. It's true that you had a great year as a striker, which is why you became the most expensive transfer in the club's history. You have to thank Girona more than the club thanks you."
Luis: "Ungrateful! No one knew you before you joined Girona.
Pelagrator: "You don't have the number 9 anymore, and you won't play in the CL... time will pass and you will see that you are far from home."
Fonsu: "Dovbyk, who failed in the Danish championship, might never have played in the top championship if it wasn't for Girona. At least on this basis, one could show respect for our club."
Fichad algo por favor: "You were a little-known Ukrainian, Girona bet on you, and you blew it. But I'm glad Atletico didn't sign you."
Sweet DickY: "No matter how you try to justify it, he didn't respect the club that created him... Both clubs are small!"
Naru: "Shame on Dovbyk for saying that! You need to respect the club that gave you the road to big football at least a little bit. Where would you be now if not for Girona?"
