But foreign journalists discovered a speech that Pierre Webo himself had in 2013, when he was playing for Fenerbahce. In a case of racism, in which Didier Drogba was terribly offended, the Cameroonian sided with the Fener fans.
Seven years ago, during a Fenerbahce – Galatasaray (2-1) match, Didier Drogba, then a guest forward, was racistly abused. Specifically, some of the host’s fans would mimic the sounds of monkeys and hold bananas in their hands when the Ivorian striker was around.
When asked about this incident, Pierre Webo was not as vocal as in the case of Sebastian Colţescu. Also, he avoided putting his fans on the wall.
“It’s better not to talk about it. The more we talk, the worse the situation becomes. What happened is not right, we know what racism is, but we (not blacks) are doing very well in Turkey.” “said, then, Pierre Webo, quoted by goal.com.
Pierre Webo changed his speech after 7 years
Upon his arrival in Turkey, after the game lost 1-5 in Paris, Pierre Webo said that Sebastian Colțescu “exceeded the limit” and wanted to thank those who were with him.
“The referee said exactly what everyone heard on television. For a referee with a FIFA badge, he exceeded the limit.
I want to thank the president of our club and the president of Turkey, for being with me. Turkey is also my country. I was impressed by all these reactions.”, Transmitted Pierre Webo.
Sebastian Colțescu, substitute referee for PSG – Istanbul Bașakșehir, unleashed a great scandal, which was echoed around the world, after calling Pierre Webo “the black one”, when he explained to the “central” Ovidiu Hațegan who is the person on the bench Turkish coach to be warned.
Colțescu’s words were heard by those on Bașakșehir’s technical bench, and the match was suspended, accusing the Romanian referee of racism. As the two teams refused to resume play with Sebastian Colțescu on the edge of the field, the match ended 24 hours later, with another squad of referees.
