Walid Regragui reacted sharply to Chancel Mbemba’s tendentious comments, which earned the Moroccan coach accusations of racism.
The clash between Morocco and the DRC gave rise to heated controversy. Consequence of the altercation between Walid Regragui and Chancel Mbemba. The two men clashed after the final whistle, sparking a general brawl. And the tone was not calm in front of the microphones.
If Walid Regragui quickly admitted to regretting this sequence, Chancel Mbemba blew on the embers in front of the microphones. “ I respect the coach who is a great man. The television cut the videos, but I have them. I don’t need to throw them around, he whispered. I keep my silence, it’s better, that’s how I am. Everyone knows me, I respect everyone, I don’t need to shoot anyone but God’s justice is there. When I play football I play normally, I’m not a great player. This word that he said, it is the coach himself who will say it. He himself will speak. »
The Marseille defender’s comments obviously sparked very strong reactions, with many seeing them as barely disguised accusations of racism. Enough to provoke the anger of the Moroccan coach. “ I said to Desabre: “Bring him back to me, he’s losing his temper, he’s talking nonsense. » I didn’t like it because it insinuates a lot of things. So if he has images other than those we see on television, let him release them, with pleasure. And he’ll see exactly what happened. And this is what happened… he thundered in the columns of The Team. Before I went to shake his hand, he attacked me and my assistant on the sidelines before the end of the match, he spoke badly to us. And Desabre knows it. And in the end, despite that, I’m going to shake his hand to also say: “But why are you talking to me like that? »And then he looks away, like “I’m not shaking your hand”. I held his hand, you can see it in the images, and he started screaming in every direction. »
“ I told him: “You tell yourself! » And he said to me: “You called me an idiot! » It’s okay that he heard that, even though I never said it, but by speaking the way he did, he’s implying that my comments are racist, it’s dishonest , he added, particularly upset. Since he only talks about religion in his speech, he should be a little honest with himself. »
