Despite all the ruckus pertaining to the Copa America celebrations from Enzo Fernandez that had racial undertones in it, he was welcomed with arms wide open by his boyhood club, River Plate. The 23-year-old star was present in the club as a part of the celebration of Argentina’s Copa America triumph.
Amidst all the criticism that has been going around Enzo Fernandez, River Plate made him feel like home. He was an instrumental part of Argentina’s championship winning team, while also being vociferous with the celebrations that followed suit.
He was being paraded around in utter glory and admiration as the fans were delighted to have him in the midst of them. There was never a shred of doubt in terms of his footballing capability and that is exactly what was celebrated by the River Plate fans.
The stadium was choc-a-bloc to celebrate the spirit of the 16th Copa America triumph for the Argentine team while the Chelsea star was the center of all attraction. After being at the receiving end of some serious flak, this moment of appreciation would have definitely done a world of good for this youngster.
New controversy which has now taken shape surrounding Enzo Fernandez
Despite all the love and fanfare that surrounded Enzo Fernandez, it seems that he has simply stepped into deeper trouble with the celebration that took place in the Estadio Mas Monumental or what is better known as River Plate Stadium. This venue also serves as the home ground for the Argentina national team.
Fernandez was already caught in a thunderstorm where he was being repeatedly questioned about the racist celebrations that he pulled off which targeted the African heritage players in France. Wesley Fofana and Kylian Mbappe voiced their opinion against such a disreputable celebration.
Fernandez realizing the fact that he had unintentionally hurt the feelings of a lot of players and fans, instantly took to social media and apologized to the world. His dad took his side and defended him stating that what he had done was unwittingly. He doesn’t support discrimination.
However, like a bolt of lightning, just when Fernandez was being paraded around the stadium, the fans started singing the same song in unison, leading to fresh new trouble for the Chelsea superstar who already has his hands full.
