What Fofana said about Enzo Fernandez
In the middle of Chelsea’s pre-season in the United States, the central defender spoke to the media and was logically asked about the subject.I’m happy that Enzo is back. We play together and we need to be together. We are strong when we are together. If I’m on one side and Enzo on the other, and we fight every day or we don’t talk, then we don’t play well.“, assured.
Along the same lines, the former Saint Ettiene clarified that “eeverything is fine now” and added: “He said he was sorry, he didn’t want to hurt the French fans or anyone else. He didn’t understand when he sang it. And I trust him. Because I know him. I know Enzo. He’s not racist.”
Although the World Cup-winning midfielder was ultimately not sanctioned by Chelsea, and in principle will not receive a penalty from the Premier League or FIFA, he will make a significant donation to a charity that fights racism.The donation is good but the most important thing is not to repeat the act and to educate everyone. It is an example because Enzo is a great player, a great star. He understands that.”Fofana mused. Topic closed.
The letter of apology that Enzo Fernández had published

The video at the time and those words do not reflect my beliefs or my character. I am truly sorry.”
