Jose Mourinho has already reacted to Enzo Fernandez racist video as FA set to make final decision
In a video that Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez live broadcast on Instagram, the Argentina team was heard singing the first few bars of a controversial song as they celebrated their Copa America triumph over Colombia.
“Cut the video,” along with the lines “On passport, French nationality, listen, spread the word, they play in France, but they are all,” abruptly terminate the recording.
Because of this, after a video of Argentina’s players singing a song with derogatory and racist lyrics went viral, the French Football Federation filed a complaint against the country.
Chelsea issued a statement after a video of Enzo Fernandez and his Argentina teammates singing a song disparaging France was made public.
“Chelsea Football Club finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour completely unacceptable,” the statement reads. “We are proud to be a diverse, inclusive club where people from all cultures, communities and identities feel welcome.
“We acknowledge and appreciate our player’s public apology and will use this as an opportunity to educate. The Club has instigated an internal disciplinary procedure”.

“They play for France but they are from Angola
His mother is Nigerian,
His father Cameroonian,
But on the passport : French.”

Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho has already reacted to Argentina and Enzo Fernandez racist video claiming everyone is equal including the Africans in terms of football:
José Mourinho said: “I want the world to see that Africa is equal with everyone. Africans are not behind in talent. They have the talent to win any tournament, except that most of their best players are scattered around the world playing for other countries instead of their homelands”.
“I know I won’t be popular for making this statement, but FIFA should make things fair by refusing to let players represent other countries, this will make FIFA tournaments even more competitive not one-sided.”
Enzo will surely face some punishment hopefully this won’t affects his football career.
