MOSCOW, July 17, Andrey Vasilchin. A huge scandal erupted after the victory of the Argentina national team at the America's Cup. The Albiceleste unsuccessfully celebrated their triumph in the United States: their offensive chant about the French was broadcast live by one of the players and blew up the world media.
Three finals — three victoriesThe Argentine national team is experiencing the best period in the 21st century. Following the 2021 Copa America and 2022 World Cup gold in Qatar, Lionel Scaloni's side have won the Copa again, becoming 16-time winners of the trophy. The Argentines in Miami beat the Colombian team in extra time: despite the injury of Lionel Messi, the favorite put the squeeze on the “coffee players” thanks to a goal from Lautaro Martinez in the 112th minute.
And in Miami there were tears of the replaced Leo, a terrible crush before the match (the meeting had to be postponed), and Shakira’s performance during the break (due to the singer’s show, it lasted 25 minutes), which pissed off the fans no less than the lousy organization of access to the stands.
«They play for France, but they come from Angola!» And then there was something that overshadowed the triumph of the Albiceleste… On the way from the stadium, the players of the Argentine national team began singing racist chants on the bus about the French football players who lost to Messi and company in the World Cup final two years ago. The approximate translation is as follows:
«They play for France, but come from Angola.
How wonderful that they escaped!
They love transvestites like f***** Mbappe.
Their mother is from Nigeria, and their father is from Cameroon,
However, according to documents, they are French! «< br>The performance became public knowledge because of Enzo Fernandez, who burst into the Instagram live broadcast at such a “timely” time* (the activities of Meta (social networks Facebook and Instagram) are prohibited in Russia as extremist) and framed his partners.
«I was too absorbed in euphoria» A day later, the world champion, defending the colors of Chelsea, apologized for ridiculing the African origin of a number of French players:
«I would like to sincerely apologize for the video posted during the national team celebration. The song used extremely offensive language and there is no justification for these words. I stand against discrimination in any form and apologize for being too caught up in the euphoria. This video , this moment and these words do not reflect my beliefs and my character. I am very sorry.»
But it was too late.
Enzo will receive a “warm” welcome in London. According to the foreign press, an investigation has been launched against Fernandez. «Chelsea». Also, the International Football Federation (FIFA) intends to look into the racist attack against French players.
It is interesting what Fernandez’s return to Chelsea will be like, where many French players play. RMC Sport notes that Blues players Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Malo Gusteau, Vesle Fofana, Christopher Nkunku, Leslie Ugochukwu are extremely annoyed by the behavior of their teammate. Fofana even spoke out about the incident on his social networks, calling the song of the winners of the 2024 America's Cup «blatant racism.» Moreover, Disasi, Gusto and Fofana unfollowed Fernandez on social networks.
Ahead of the start of the 2024/25 season, Chelsea is restless.
