The storm of Enzo and other Argentina internationals suspected of "discriminating" against France players continues to ferment. On July 19, Beijing time, Enzo's father, Raul Fernández, defended his son in an interview with Argentina Sport. He countered domineeringly: Germany and France have also discriminated against Argentina, but have we said anything?
In the interview, the father first defended Enzo's behavior during the turmoil: "I know what kind of person my son is. He's not that kind of person. It is difficult for Europeans to understand our football folklore. He was live at an inappropriate moment, but he didn't even realize what he was singing. ”
Subsequently, Enzo's father began to cite two examples to fight back, and even let Argentina captain Messi "lie down" again. Enzo's father said: "When Germany beat us in 2014, they imitated the way the gauchos (the main ethnic group in Argentina) walked, treating us as ignorant. In 2018, France blamed Messi for his height problem. But we never came forward and said they discriminated against us.”
Obviously, in the eyes of Enzo's father, the France side is too sensitive, petty, and unstructured about this matter.
Previously, Enzo has already apologised on social media for his previous actions, and it is expected that he will also apologise to his French-speaking teammates in the team when he returns to Chelsea for the new season. It's just that I don't know whether Enzo can continue to be accepted by the Chelsea dressing room after this turmoil, and it will be a big question.
