Jakarta –
Edinson Cavani’s joy after being the hero of Manchester United’s victory over Southampton could be a nightmare. He is threatened with a three-game suspension. Why?
Cavani scored two goals and an assist as Manchester United posted a sensational comeback at the Southampton venue on Sunday (11/29/2020) WIB afternoon. Trailing 0-2 before, MU won 3-2 in the Premier League match.
Thanks to his appearance, Cavani also received congratulations on social networks. Unfortunately for Cavani, one of his responses to what he received was considered racial harassment.
He wrote the term ‘Negrito’ which means black or in this context, black skin. Manchester United also reportedly immediately explained to Cavani that his charge could be misunderstood in England, because the term was seen as insulting.
Cavani then removed his burden and explained that he used the term as an expression of affection. The 33-year-old also emphasized that the word has a different connotation in Uruguay and is not an insulting expression.
However, the English Football Association (FA) will continue to investigate this case. Meanwhile, Edinson Cavani is threatened with a 3-game suspension if it is shown that he has violated the rules related to racism, language and discriminatory attitudes.
The term ‘Negrito’ has also appeared in the case of the racism of Luis Suárez, who was Cavani’s colleague in the Uruguay national team, and Patrice Evra in the 2011/2012 season. Suarez, who was defending Liverpool at the time, was found guilty of his words against the Manchester United defender and sentenced to an 8-game suspension.
In the case of Suárez-Evra, former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur player from Uruguay, Gus Poyet, also explained that the word is not an insulting term in his country. Last season, Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva and Tottenham Hotspur Dele Alli were suspended for one match for violating rules on racism in the media.
