The issue of homophobic chants uttered by some players of Argentina against the French internationals after the victory over Colombia in the final of America Cup. Many football players, on the bus that took them to the exit of the stadium, sang a song in which the origin of the French players was questioned and everyone went to the offices. France denounced and Argentina responded.
Criticism has focused on Enzo Fernández, who was slammed by his Chelsea teammate Fofana on social media, calling him a racist. Because this was the case, and because of the magnitude of the case, Rodrigo de Paul took action on the matter and came out in defense of his Albiceleste teammate. This is explained in the program ‘Soñé’.
“The intention was never discriminatory. We do not analyze the lyrics of these songs. We can understand that people who have suffered racism does not like it, but there are places,” he said, alluding to the fact that networks are not the right place to resolve the issue. “If a teammate of Enzo is offended, he should be called, not posted on social media. I think there is a bit of malice there, or a desire to put Enzo in a situation that has nothing to do with him. It’s very strange, it’s like kicking yourself when you’re knocked out.”
According to him, these problems must be solved internally. “These are the people you’re always with in the locker room, on the trips. There’s trust. Unfollowing them (on social media) seems like a no-brainer to me. You can call them and say ‘Listen, it hurts us ,’ Don. ‘Didn’t you post an apology?
