On July 18, Beijing time, the Enzo Fernández racial discrimination incident continued to ferment, and the deputy minister of sports of Argentina said that Messi was never asked to apologize for Enzo.
After winning the Copa America, Enzo caused an uproar by singing racist songs against the France team during the live broadcast, and although he has publicly apologized, it is clear that the matter will not end there.
Earlier, the Argentine media newspaper El Nacional reported that Argentina's deputy sports minister, Julio Garro, demanded that Messi and the president of the Argentina Football Federation apologize for the Enzo incident.
However, Julio Garo posted: "I categorically deny that I have ever asked Messi to apologize. This is disrespectful to those who bring us honor with their personal qualities and athletic qualities. ”
Following Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana, striker David Fofana also posted on social media speaking out against racism in what is seen as a response to Enzo.
According to France media outlet RMC reporter Fabrice Hawkins, in the Chelsea dressing room, in addition to the France player, other teammates were also shocked by what happened to Enzo. Chelsea, on the other hand, have promised internal penalties for Enzo's racist behaviour.
