After a particularly stormy France-Argentina match, Lucas Beltran does not understand the behavior of the Blues, who accused the Argentinians of racism.
They highlighted the “mixity” of their team, their ” beautiful colors “. The French team players had a score to settle with Argentina, since the video filmed by Enzo Fernandez where several Albiceleste players took up a racist chant about the Blues. And this was felt during the quarter-final of the Olympic Games, which ended in a general brawl after the Tricolores’ victory (1-0).
After this match, the players of the Argentine Olympic team did not understand the behavior of the French, and held them responsible for the incidents at the final whistle. According to them, the Blues showed too much aggression, during and after the match.
“Zero racists” in Argentina, according to Beltran
“They celebrate the goal in front of you, they insult you, they call you racist and you wonder why they say that to you, when you are not, laments striker Lucas Beltran, interviewed by ESPN. I’m not like that and it makes you even more angry. The scenario of the quarter-finals created a huge mess. I found it strange that they went to celebrate in front of our families at the end of the match, I don’t think that’s the right way to do it.”
“I have no problem with the French and I never have had any, adds the Fiorentina player, who tries to calm things down. I invite them to Argentina so they can see what we are like: zero racists, we are nice to everyone. This racist label is misplaced and that is why everything has grown so big.. »
