KRC Genk’s Tolu Arokodare: Criticism Fueled by His Desire to Shine

Tolu Arokodare, the Nigerian forward of KRC Genk, has responded to recent criticism from Belgian football pundit, Wesley Sonck, saying that the negativity has only inspired him to perform better on the pitch.

Sonck, a well-known figure in Belgian football, had taken aim at Arokodare for his decision to go sleeveless during pre-game warm-ups, labeling it as a desperate attempt to show off his physique. However, the 24-year-old has revealed that he took the criticism personally and has been motivated by it to prove his doubters wrong.

“I took it so hard because the man who said it was apparently a professional footballer himself,” Arokodare told Het Belang van Limburg. “The criticism gives me extra energy in a way. I just want to make sure I can prove people wrong and keep doing what I do best on the pitch.”

Despite the criticism, Arokodare has been in impressive form this season, scoring four goals in three league appearances for Genk. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with Turkish club Trabzonspor linked with a potential move for the Nigerian international.

Arokodare’s response to Sonck’s criticism has been widely praised, with many acknowledging that the best way to silence critics is through hard work and dedication. As KRC Genk looks to continue their strong start to the season, Arokodare’s refusal to be affected by negative comments has sent a strong message to his opponents and fans alike.

For now, the Nigerian forward is focused on helping his team achieve success on the pitch, and with his form showing no signs of slowing down, it remains to be seen if Arokodare will be able to achieve his goal of making a move to a top-tier European club in the near future.
