Joseph Minala, the 17-year-old who plays for Lazio, has now shut down his social media accounts following abuse over his age.
The internet was awash with pictures of the teenage midfielder with everyone staggered that he was just 17.
Well, sadly the uproar over Minala’s birth date on his passport seems to have really got to the poor guy after he closed down his social media accounts.

Well, sadly the uproar over Minala’s birth date on his passport seems to have really got to the poor guy after he closed down his social media accounts.
The Cameroonian has now blocked photos on his Instagram account, deleted his Facebook profile and filtered out Twitter pictures of himself.
He did, however, tweet the following message, which has been translated.
“Envy is the weakness of man, and those with a poor soul hurt others when you are in Serie A. Love you! Forza Lazio.”

He may only be 17, but it’s already been a pretty controversial career for Minala who, some have rather harshly said, has looked to have aged a lot through it already.
“He had a difficult time growing up. If you talk to him you’ll realise he is in every way a 17-year-old lad,” Diego Tavano told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Minala’s agent has rubbished the claims, but quotes have emerged in the press suggesting that the player has admitted that he is 41 – and will turn 42 in August.
As reported by BBC, Lazio are defending Minala and threatening to take action against allegations that he’s not of the age they claim:
We reserve the right to take action against those responsible for the protection of the good name of the company and the footballer.What do you think?does he look 40 or 17?
