Filled with regret, Kalidou Koulibaly showed his support for Romelu Lukaku, targeted by racist cries with Inter Milan against Juventus last week.
On the occasion of the semi-final first leg of the Italian Cup between Juventus and Inter Milan (1-1) last Tuesday, Romelu Lukaku, author of the equalizing goal for the Nerazzurri in the final moments of the match, was the victim of racist insults and yelling. Belgian striker was even called a “monkey”, videos on social networks attest. Often a witness and sometimes even a victim of these heinous acts during his long adventure in Italy, as a Napoli player, Kalidou Koulibaly supported his colleague in an interview with the BBC Sport.
“I don’t know why it keeps happeningregretted the Senegalese defender of Chelsea. There are some fools who think they have the right to do whatever they want. Society is not like that and I tell Romelu, I am with him. I know that feelingHappened to me and it’s really bad. We should be proud of him, proud of what he has done. He gave no respect to anyone and just expressed his feeling at the moment. For me it was fine. Maybe others felt he was playing on their nerves, but they played with him with these stupid actions against him. I feel sorry for him, but everyone is with him and we will always support him. »
