"Their fathers are Cameroonians, but the passport says "French". The scandal continues

Enzo Fernandez apologized for racist statements against the French national team.

During the celebration of the Argentine national team's victory in the America's Cup, the players of the Argentine national team insulted the players of the "tricolors" while singing. Albicelestes and Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez published the video but soon stopped broadcasting it.

"I sincerely apologize for the video posted on my channel during the celebration. The song contains highly offensive language, and no excuse exists for using these words.

I am against discrimination in any form, and I apologize for being euphoric during the celebration of our victory in the America's Cup. These words do not reflect my beliefs or character in this video or this episode. I am sincerely sorry," wrote Enzo.

The scandal also spread to Chelsea. French footballers Malo Gusteau, Axel Disassi, and Wesley Fofana unfollowed Fernandez, and Fofana also wrote a condemning post, "Football in 2024: racism in its wildest form". Wrote the defender.

It should be noted that Fernandez made vulgar remarks before the celebration: "Listen, spread. They play in France, but they all come from Angola. Their mothers are Nigerian, and their fathers are Cameroonian, but the passport says "French."

It is reported that Chelsea will investigate the situation related to the scandalous video of Enzo Fernandez. "Chelsea" intends to take serious measures to resolve this situation.
