FABINHO’S attitude for Saudi club Al-Ittihad has been mocked after the ex-Liverpool midfielder’s “disgraceful” role in a rival’s “cheeky trick”.

After the ambling Brazilian was nutmegged by Al-Okhdood’s Leandre Tawamba, one fan blasted: “I don’t think giving less of a toss is possible.”

Fabinho was beaten at walking pace by a slow piece of footwork from Al-Okhdood forward Leandre Tawamba but Al-Ittihad still won

Some viewers have questioned Fabinho’s efforts for Al-Ittihad

And despite winning their latest outing against Al Akhdoud 1-0, courtesy of a Benzema second-half goal, Fabinho has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

Fabinho, 29, was trolled after league chiefs posted a clip of “the cheekiest of tricks” – but which, if you were generous, was more like a moment of meandering magic.

Cameroon striker Tawamba, 33, remained in first gear as he received the ball in a harmless position and nicked the ball through Fabinho’s legs.

One fan said of the painfully-slow exchange: “You can almost see him stood there calculating how much he earned in that moment.”

Another wrote: “Good to see Fab enjoying his retirement plan.”

A third claimed: “Looks like the last 10 minutes of 5 a side game and you’ve started thinking what your getting from the chippy on the way home.”

Fabinho joined the Saudi champs in July for £425,000 a week until 2026.

And with that sum enough to fund a luxury holiday every day of the year, many supporters reckon the ex-Anfield workhorse is already taking it easy.

One fan said of his mild mid-pitch meeting with Tawamba: “Everyone is moving around like they are just chilling”.

And many opinions were similar to this: “Sunday League is a higher standard than this. Not even joking.”

Al Ittihad said in July that Fabinho’s signing was part of their effort to “reinforce the team with outstanding players, who will support their journey in the upcoming phase, which includes multiple domestic and international competitions”.
