The Lyon Olympicshis coach Laurent Blanc and even the French city are reluctant to talk about the controversy surrounding the recent recruitment of Croatian Dejan Lovren, who has been accused on several occasions of singing pro- Nazi songs and making homophobic statements, among other controversies.
‘Le Parisien’ points out that in Lyon, everyone’s silence suggests that there was a certain shame or embarrassment in the decision to bring the 33-year-old footballer who has the potential to take center stage. There is no question about the quality of the defender’s football, a star at Liverpool and wearing a World Cup bronze medal around his neck. At issue is his constant slippage.
An example is the songs with Nazi overtones that he performed with Brozovic on December 22 when he was celebrating third place in Qatar with his teammates. Also, his homophobic ideology, which became clear in April when the defender boycotted Disney, which had just announced its support for the LGTBI community.
