'I deserve more' — Acosta hits back after being booed in Cincinnati return | OneFootball

Luciano Acosta was met with boos upon his return to Cincinnati Wednesday evening with FC Dallas.

The star attacker spent four seasons in Cincinnati, collecting 48 goals, 62 assists, and leading the club to a Supporters Shield triumph in that time.

But after a contentious exit from the club this past offseason in which he consistently took to media in Argentina to reveal his desire to leave the club, his return to play in front of the fans who once loved him did not go as planned.

"The fans need to be more grateful with me," he said after the match Wednesday eveving. "They boo me, but I don't deserve that.

"I feel bad because I won the Supporters Shield here, the first MVP for the club, the first trophy for the club. I think I deserve more than that."

Acosta has taken some time to settle in Dallas, only scoring three goals so far this season.

Meanwhile, Acosta's big-money replacement in Cincinnati, Brazilian playmaker Evander, has hit the ground running with 11 goal contributions in 14 games.
