According to Japanese media on the 11th, the Cerezo Osaka club posted a notice on its official website titled 'Report and Request on slander on SNS against the player' and announced a strict response policy with a request for restraint in response to the recent frequent criticism from fans.




In the notice, the club, which started with "Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warm support for Cerezo Osaka all the time", is confirming that multiple players are currently being maligned and seriously injured through DM (direct messages) on SNS (social network service) regarding the contents of the play after the game."SNS is an important means of communication between clubs and fans and supporters, but malicious words often cause anxiety or fear to the other person and seriously affect the mind and body," he said.
