“More sensitive” – Liverpool player defends Enzo Fernandez after racist video | OneFootball

Another player has jumped to the defence of Enzo Fernandez after the racist video surfaced earlier in the week.

You will all know the story by now. But in a nutshell, Enzo posted a video with himself and his Argentina team mates singing a chant from the last World Cup that features racism and homophobia. It’s important to say that it wasn’t just Enzo in the video, but obviously he is taking the brunt of it because he is the one you can see clearly in the video and also, the one who posted it.

EXCLUSIVE!! Chelsea have put TWO centre backs up for sale and one for loan in order to sign one more new PREMIER LEAGUE centre back!

It doesn’t matter anyway, the video/chant was idiotic and disgusting.

Anyway, Enzo has since apologised, everyone is having their opinion on it, and various people are coming out and trying to defend Enzo and to be honest, it’s just making it all worse.

Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister is a Argentine team mate of Enzo and was probably on the bus too at the time of the video, and he’s come out and defended Enzo.

Mac Allister thinks people are being too sensitive

Mac Allister defends his team mate

“You have to be careful with what you say or do, Mac Allister was cited as saying via X. “Especially in Europe where they are much more sensitive than here.

“The reality is that we are not a racist country; we are not used to talking about racism so much. Yes, it’s a very important topic, obviously.

“Enzo has already apologized and explained what happened. I don’t think there’s much more to say. We know Enzo, we know he would never do it with bad intentions, he’s not that guy, he’s not racist.

“It’s just a chant that got stuck and is more of a mocking tone than anything else. But, as I said, you have to be very careful.

“I think the most important thing is that Enzo came out, gave the corresponding apologies, and that, in the end, should be valued.”

Oh dear….
