The incident involving the racist chant by Argentina players could also have consequences in England. Especially in Chelsea, where he plays Enzo Fernandez who posted the incriminating video on his Instagram page and it went around the world. In fact, six French players play for the Blues: Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, Malo Gusto, Lesley Ugochukwu and Christopher Nkunku, who are decidedly irritated by what has been circulating online and by the behavior of their teammate who won the Copa America with his Argentina team on the night between Sunday and Monday.
Chelsea launch internal investigation
As reported in the online edition of the Daily Mailthe Blues are rightly taking the matter seriously and are conducting an internal investigation and will act accordingly. The French Football Federation has already decided today to report the matter to FIFA in order to take action.
The racist chorus
The absolutely condemnable chant, already sung by Argentine fans during the final, then won, against France at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, goes: “They play for France but they come from Angola – it’s the lyrics – they will run well, they like to f…. with trans. The mother is Nigerian, the father Cambodian, but on the passport it says: French”.
