“I can’t lie” – Recce James reveals why Chelsea dressing room could be a ‘PROBLEM’ after latest controversy
Chelsea captain Recce James acknowledges that there may be a “problem” in the locker room as a result of the racism controversy involving teammate Enzo Fernandez.
When Fernandez and his Argentina teammates were caught on camera performing a song disparaging several France players during their Copa America celebrations, it sparked uproar.
When asked whether the problem may affect the Stamford Bridge team spirit, James responded to ESPN, “Of course.”
When there might be an issue, there’s always that element that makes things uncomfortable for certain people.
For new manager Enzo Maresca, the scenario with Fernandez—who cost the team almost £100 million—is the first significant obstacle.
However, the former Leicester manager feels that because the Argentine made the decision to apologize, the matter has already been settled.
Meanwhile, Recce James mentioned that as well.
“We were in different time zones, so it was difficult for me to communicate with him,”
Really just a casual conversation. His opinions on the events, as well as his attempts to clarify his circumstances and the course of events. It’s a very challenging circumstance.
Football is a place where racism and bigotry have no place.
Wesley Fofana, a defender for Chelsea and a France international, criticized the club’s record signing and the “uninhibited racism” displayed in the video. Several colleagues unfollowed Fernandez on Instagram.
The 23-year-old, who sent a private video message expressing his regret to his teammates, will begin training with the team the following week. The Chelsea are looking into the situation internally.
