Alexis Mac Allister believes Argentina teammate Enzo Fernández is facing undeserved backlash for the video that shows the Chelsea midfielder singing a discriminatory chant.
after the French Football Federation announced it would file a legal complaint over"racist and discriminatory remarks" made by Fernández and his Argentina teammates."We know Enzo, we know he would never do it with bad intention. It's more of a chant that stuck and it's more in a mocking tone than anything else. The most important thing is that Enzo apologised and we have to give value to that.
The same chants -- by some Argentina fans -- emerged before France and Argentina met in the 2022 World Cup final, which Argentina won.Argentina international Rodrigo de Paul feels Fernández is being unfairly targeted."I can understand people that have suffered racism and all of that, don't like it. But there are ways. If Enzo's teammates felt offended, the way to do it is to call him not to put in on social media.
"You have to be careful with what one does and one says, especially in Europe because it's more sensitive there."
