The Chelsea club is preparing a stern response to the racist acts committed by Chelsea midfielder Enso Fernandez.
The BBC, a British public broadcaster, reported on the 17th (Korea time) that `Chelsea has decided to investigate Enso's racist relief video.'
The beginning of the problem was a video on the bus after Argentina's Copa America 2024 win. Argentina did not hide the joy of winning the Copa even on the team bus, and Chelsea midfielder Enso Fernandez revealed the situation on his SNS.
In the video, Argentine players summoned France, who they faced in the final of the Qatar World Cup. The French players sang slogans that included racism and hatred of minorities: "'All from Angola' and "'Mbappe goes out with transgender people'. It was nothing short of publicizing serious discrimination, disparaging the black players of the French national team.

After the video of the song was released, French players from Chelsea canceled their SNS following with Enso. Chelsea include several French players, including Wesley Fofana, who raised the issue, Marlo Gusto, Axel DiSasi, Benoit Badiashil and Christopher Nkunku.
Immediately, the French Football Association also reacted. French Football Association President Philippe Diallo condemns Argentina's singing video for unacceptable racist remarks against French players. To counter the seriousness of these shocking remarks, we have decided to complain to the Federation of International Football (FIFA)," he immediately issued a statement.
Chelsea also recognized the seriousness of the incident by launching an investigation on time. BBC says Chelsea has launched an investigation into Enso videos, and French Football Federation also includes racist slogans. Chelsea is investigating the incident and dealing with it seriously.'

After the incident, Enso also posted an apology. On social media, he wrote 'I sincerely apologize for the video posted on my social media during the national team celebration. This song contains very offensive language, and there is absolutely no excuse for it. Nevertheless, I am against all forms of discrimination, and I am sorry that I was swept up in the frenzy of Copa America celebrations. The video, the moment, the words do not reflect my beliefs or personality. I apologize with all my heart."
However, the situation is unlikely to end with an apology. Simon Phillips, a reporter familiar with Chelsea's news, said on his personal social media, `Chelsea and Enso's situation does not look good. There is no further news yet, but according to some news, the termination of the contract with Enso appears to have been mentioned. Chelsea will investigate, check everything and decide. However, Chelsea and Enso are not looking good at the moment,' he said, explaining the seriousness of the situation.
In the end, strong disciplinary action against Enso is expected to be taken according to the criteria for Chelsea to judge the seriousness of the situation, and it is unclear whether Enso will be able to get along with the French players of Chelsea even if he remains at the club.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's handling of racism is compared to Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur's handling of Son Heung-min's racism in June.
Bentancur appeared on Uruguay's Forla Kamiseta in June and was asked to save Son Heung-min's uniform. But when asked, he said, `What about Son's cousin's uniform. Son Heung-min and his cousin look exactly the same," he replied with a racist remark. Fans criticized him after judging that his remarks were disparaging to Asians.
Bentancourt immediately apologized to Son Heung-min on social media when the controversy began. He said "Sony! I apologize for what just happened, it was a very bad joke. You know I love you, I didn't mean to ignore you or hurt you. I love you." However, the controversy did not diminish despite the short apology and the lackluster attitude, and Son Heung-min expressed his position on this.
Son Heung-min has already talked about it with Bentancourt about the incident. He made a mistake, knew it, and had already apologized."
Then "Bentancourt didn't mean to say something aggressively. We're brothers, nothing changes. Now it's past, and we're one. We will meet again in pre-season and fight as a team," he said, concluding his position with a heart emoji. European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also shared Son Heung-min's position and reported.

Tottenham remained tight-lipped after Bentancourt's incident, but only after Son Heung-min's statement came out.
Tottenham said on social media that following Rodrigo Bentancur's comments in an interview video and the player's public apology, the club has helped ensure a positive outcome on the matter. This will include additional training for all players based on diversity, equality, and inclusion goals. We feel Sonny, the captain, can draw a line on this case and fully support the team to focus on the new season ahead. We are very proud of our diverse and global fan base and squad. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated in our clubs, in our games, in our wider society,' it said.
Tottenham does not mention racism at all on its website or on the club's SNS until the statement is released, and continues to upload updates on the schedule of the next season and the players who participated in Copa America and Euro 2024. It was different from previously resolutely dealing with racism against Son Heung-min.
Chelsea, on the other hand, has warned that it will strictly discipline racial discrimination by first launching an investigation into Enso's actions even before the French players have come up with a strong response.
