Ivan Toney Criticizes Fans for Mocking Teammate, According to Goal.

After Al-Ahli defeated Al-Riyadh on Friday night, Ivan Toney's post-match comments were reported by Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat: "We were 3-0 up in the first half, and it's important for the fans to support us."

He added: "I feel like the fans are mocking a certain player, and I don't understand it. This player hasn't made a mistake; he's here and he's part of our team family. We need to be united and support each other."

Ivan Toney concluded: "You can't mock a player and then expect him to perform well; I don't understand that. He's in a different country, he's still young, and there's a lot of pressure. We support him, we're united, and that's what a family does."

Ivan Toney was referring to the mockery directed at Ukrainian midfielder Artem Bondarenko by fans. Al-Ahli supporters had previously protested Bondarenko's signing, believing the club needed a better midfielder, but the club ultimately insisted on recruiting him. The transfer sparked fan backlash, particularly directed at former Sporting CP director Rui Pedro Braz. The club decided to sack him on Thursday.
