Mame Biram Diouf hammers Stoke fans then tries to patch it up

Mame Biram Diouf has attempted to patch up his relationship with Stoke’s fans after apparently labelling them the”worst” in the country.

In an interview with So Foot, the striker said the Potters fans were the “worst” in the country.

But the 31-year-old has attempted to clarify his comments by tweeting “was talking about how it’s hard to please the fans because they expect a lot from us each game.”

The original interview, which has been translated, Diouf claimed he was thinking about leaving this summer.

Diouf told So Foot: “They’ve loved me too much here. That’s why I’m sad about the current situation, because Stoke means a lot to me.

“English fans are demanding, but, frankly, our fans are the worst.

“They’re really passionate, but they don’t encourage the players. Even if you barely miss a pass, they tear you to shreds. It’s really hard.”

Diouf has been at Stoke for almost five years and is under contract until 2020.
