When asked if he would walk off, Wijnaldum said, as quoted by the Irish Examiner: “Yeah, I would. Why should I play, in that case? I think everyone should do it. That’s the way you support another person, because why should you go on?

“If you go on, it will never stop, because the people will think: ‘OK, we will abuse the player, they will go inside, we will stop a little bit, but they will come outside again, we will play the game, so why should we stop?’”
