[Football] Enzo Fernandez involved in racist chant

[BN41Albion]

A few points:

The song was created by Argentinian fans in the build up to the world cup final.

The line about trans people is actually "they sleep with trans like fecking Mbappe does" in reference to his relationship with a trans model.

In the video they are actually singing another song then switch to the France one until someone shouts "cut the video" as they were aware of the consequences. Enzo clearly isn't the sharpest tool in the box.

And yes, it does rhyme in Spanish.

Racism and discrimination alive and well in Argentina it seems, then. Christ.

Why do they give a f*** about france, anyway!?

Lalalalalalala they get spanked in wars
Doobedooh they let their generals throw their citizens out of planes
Mums still have to protest to find out where the fck their kids disappeared to.
Loads of natural resources yet they have slums everywhere, the third world cnts.
No wonder the people of Malvinas want nothing to do with them.
And Eva Peron was a slag.

I wonder if my "hilarious" ditty scans in French? I mean I'm sure no offence would be meant if it did.

Chelsea have a £107 million problem

I'm not sure how they could bring him back into the team after that video/I don't know who'd buy him for that sort of money

It’s some beef to do with the WC. France knocked out Argentina in 2018 and then Argentina beat them in the last final.

I'd like to hope that Ali Mac wasn't.

If I was Barber I'd be on the phone trying to find out ASAP.

Ignore: question already asked about 50 times!

“Fernandez's Chelsea team-mate Wesley Fofana, who has one cap for France, posted an image of the video on Instagram describing it as "uninhibited racism".”

He’s not wrong.

That is full blown old school racism. Blimey. It should endear him to a segment of the Chelsea fans though?

Exactly. This sort of behaviour seemed to make John Terry more popular with the Chelsea fans. Enzo will be fine.

What with Rodri and his Gilbratar chants…..winning a cup does seem to result in the mask slipping a tad

Well, England are okay on that score then.

Silly to post etc

Can’t imagine anyone really offended tbh

Really!!!

Corned beef?

It's jarring at times to be reminded that footballers, for all their talent and fame and money, are actually just people and some people actually are just f**king bellends.

It'll be interesting to see how Chelsea handle this. A nice headache for their new manager.

No they haven’t, just look at United and Greenwood, he should have been sacked, wasn’t because that would have meant losing £m on an ‘asset’, had that been back room staff it would have been P45 time. As someone posted earlier, top level football clubs and morals split up ages ago.

 

[TomandJerry]

Seems like Enzo could get off lightly:

"Chelsea Football Club finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour completely unacceptable.

"We are proud to be a diverse, inclusive club where people from all cultures, communities and identities feel welcome.

"We acknowledge and appreciate our player’s public apology and will use this as an opportunity to educate.

"The club has instigated an internal disciplinary procedure."

 

[Bald Head]

I imagine this would cause a massive rift in the dressing room if he stays.

Hopefully yes.

Don't bring Uruguay into this.
