Enzo Fernandez (24) has already won great titles in his sports career. In Argentina, he achieved everything. Copa América, Finalissima, World Cup and again Copa América. Surely this last title gives him more headaches than expected.
The Chelsea midfielder was embroiled in controversy after singing with other teammates: “They play in France, but they all come from Angola” in an Instagram live with his own account.
That caused a lot of trouble in France and the French Federation decided to take legal measures, but it also sowed trouble in Chelsea, his team, as his teammate Fofana did not hesitate to accuse him of “unfettered racism.” The Argentine came forward and apologized for an “unfair” celebration, but the mess was fixed. Some colleagues came to his defense and others the opposite. Maresca must deal with this situation.
Controversy reignites
After several days of tense calm, controversy resurfaced. The compelling reason is that Enzo Fernández, trained at River Plate, was honored at the Monumental for winning the Copa América. He received the number 13 shirt, the number he wore during his time in the first team, and was applauded by the entire stand. But in some sectors of the stadium chanting can be heard again, something that causes discomfort in France and England.
