The British Tribune reported on the 19th (Korea time) that the father of Enso Fernandez defended his son.
Argentina has recently been criticized for racist acts committed by the team. 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.

Enso Fernandez, who has been the subject of the video's release since it was released, will be punished internally by his team Chelsea despite his immediate apology on social media, and the French Football Association said it would officially complain to FIFA about the incident.
However, starting with Argentina's Olympic team coach Javier Mascherano's recent remarks, people were surprised to see advocacy opinions for Enso coming from Argentina. The core of Onghong was the claim that it was simply a culture.

So did Enso's father. "That's not who my son is," he says. "It is difficult for Europeans to understand our culture, such as our slogans and celebrations. Recorded at an inappropriate moment, they didn't even know what song they were singing. Germany in 2014 and France in 2018 also mocked us", pointing to past cases, he said there were no major problems.
Argentina's national team teammate Rodrigo DePaul even argued that such criticism and criticism of Enso by French players seem to be on show. DePaul says "What I can say is don't analyze the song like that"It's often a joke. Enso's colleague should also call him if he was in a bad mood. He criticized his colleagues for criticizing Enso, saying, "You shouldn't expose it on social media."
The aftermath of the shocking racism in the Argentine national team is growing. However, Argentina is gradually starting to make absurd claims that it is their culture, not racism, making global soccer fans more angry.
