- Enzo Fernandez had too much fun, accidentally sang a racist song after winning the latest Copa America
- Emmanuel Petit predicts teammates will never fight for Enzo again
- There are currently no sanctions from FIFA or UEFA.
French legend Emmanuel Petit, who is also a former Chelsea and Arsenal player, has criticised Enzo Fernandez for singing a racist song last month. Petit said that although his teammates have forgiven him, deep down they are still scarred.
“If I was Wesley Fofana or someone else who was directly affected, I would be very angry. That song will never be forgotten and it will leave a scar. It’s not something you can sweep under the carpet. It’s a very serious matter and if I was one of the players in the dressing room, I would be very concerned. “
Okay, he has apologised but it’s easy to apologise to your team-mates and say we fight for the same badge and they might forgive him but deep down it leaves a big scar. I just don’t think Chelsea players are fighting for Enzo anymore. I don’t see that. *I could be wrong. They might react differently.”
“We will fight for the victory on the same pitch? Really? Tell me, how can a Chelsea player do that? Will they run through obstacles for Enzo? I don’t think so. It will not be the same and nothing will be the same after what Enzo said. “You cannot normalise racism
in society. It’s everywhere and it’s very frustrating. Social media has lost people’s minds. It’s crazy. It has become normalised. I think this will haunt Chelsea for the whole season. As I said, they have a lot of problems in the squad already, don’t create more, especially from the players within the ufabet https://ufabet999.app club.”
Although Chelsea teammates led by Wesley Fofana have now announced that they have forgiven Enzo, there are still occasional backlashes. At the same time, we still have to wait and see what FIFA and UEFA will decide to do to Enzo Fernandez.
