Chelsea captain Reece James is hoping all will be well between Enzo Fernandez and his team-mates after the controversy that followed Argentina’s Copa America victory.
The reunion promises to be tense. After the controversy that followed the Copa America, Enzo Fernandez will soon resume training with Chelsea. On this occasion, the Argentinian midfielder will meet his teammates again, and could have to explain himself on this video that has gone viral, where we see him and his teammates singing a racist chant against the French team.
Several Blues reacted, including Jules Koundé and Mike Maignan, and the most virulent was Wesley Fofana, defender… of Chelsea. We can fear that things will turn out badly when training resumes, as Reece James admits.
” Of course, there is always the factor where it doesn’t suit people and there might be a problem,” fears the Blues captain in an interview with ESPN. ” The day everyone is together and in the same room, I hope things can be resolved smoothly and we can move forward with the season.”still wants to believe the English international.
“No room for racism”
While players like Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson have come to the defence of Enzo Fernandez, assuring that he is not racist, Reece James has made his feelings known. “It’s a really difficult situation. There is no place for racism or discrimination in football.pleads the Blues defender. “I think he (Enzo Fernandez) quickly put his hand up and acknowledged that he had done wrong and apologized to his teammates, the club and the rest of the people who had been offended. I think that was probably the best he could do in that situation.”
“I talked to him a little, adds Reece Jamesbut it was difficult because we were in different time zones. It was just a general conversation really. He gave me his perspective on what happened and he tried to explain his situation and how things happened.”
