According to a new report from La Gazzetta della Sera, the racial abuse fiasco within the Chelsea squad has not yet fully died down, and although the player in question, Enzo, has expressed his sincere apologies via social media and the team's group chat, some of his teammates, especially the French players, have not yet fully forgiven him for his actions.
Enzo was previously embroiled in a racial discrimination controversy over inappropriate comments, an incident that quickly sparked widespread concern in the football world. In order to salvage the impact and express remorse, Enzo quickly apologized in a public post on social media, and apologized again in Chelsea's team chat, the tone of sincerity is touching. According to sources inside Chelsea, Enzo's apology was understood to a certain extent by his teammates, especially those of illegal nationality.
However, it is worth noting that the group of French players in Chelsea's squad remain lukewarm towards Enzo. These players have so far not followed Enzo's social media accounts or given him clear support or forgiveness in public, suggesting that the stigma has not been completely removed from their minds. Racial discrimination is an extremely sensitive and serious issue that not only hurts the feelings of those who are discriminated against, but also destroys the harmonious atmosphere of the team.
In order to calm the situation and demonstrate a firm stance against discrimination, Enzo also made a donation to an anti-discrimination charity. The move was recognized by Chelsea and the club decided not to pursue internal disciplinary action against Enzo. Nevertheless, FIFA's investigation into the matter is still ongoing and Enzo is still at risk of suspension.
