Kylian Mbappé, harsh reaction to Colțescu: “We are tired of racism! It was intolerable”

Kylian Mbappé (21 years old), one of its stars PSG, who scored two goals in the match with Bașakșehir, categorized his behavior as “intolerable” Sebastian Colțescu and said he was proud to have left the field with his teammates and opponents.

“I am proud of what I did on Tuesday. Much has been said, but the most important thing is the facts. We are tired of racism and we don’t want to go through something like that anymore.

We are all human beings and what happened was intolerable. People were tired and something had to be done. We were not disappointed not being able to play. We made that decision and we are proud.

If we left things at that, people would have thought it was normal, but it shouldn’t be. “said Mbappé, after the victory with Bașakșehir, according to Marca.

Sebastian Colțescu was accused of racism by the two teams

Things PSG – Basaksehir was interrupted in the 14th minute later triggering an incident with a racist tinge provoked by the declaration of a member of the referee squad.

Sebastian Colţescu was said to have targeted Pierre Webo offensively from the Turks’ technical bench, then officially eliminated by Ovidiu Haţegan. But in the audio recording that later appeared in the online environment, it does not seem that Sebastian Colţescu’s voice says “The black over there. That is not possible. The black“.

From the audio recording, the one using the line “black man over there” looks more like the “wizard” Octavio Şovre, one of Haţegan’s collaborators in international matches.

Big names in world football defended Sebastian Colțescu

Lionel charbonnier (54 years old), former goalkeeper and French international, assured that there are “no racist connotations” in what Colțescu said. Charbonnier, a current analyst at RMC Sport, has been a coach in Africa in the past.

He coached SM Sanga Balende from Congo and was second in the Madagascar team, allowing himself to analyze the situation from a personal perspective. “I trained in Africa and they always called me ‘the target’. There was nothing racist, no one had ever thought of such a thing. Not even me”Explained the former French goalkeeper.

John barnes (67 years old), the former great striker for England and Liverpool, assures that Romanian referee Sebastian Colțescu would have done nothing wrong when he showed Pierre Webo, Turkey’s second team.

“If I am the only white person in a room or group, how else can you describe the only white or black person in a group? Demba Ba said that if he had been white, he would not have said “that white!” But if there were five black coaches and one white coach, he would have said “white!” What else could or should I say !?

The referee does not know who to sanction, the fourth official has to tell him who to turn to, so he tells him to go with “the black one”. Then the referee (no: – Ovidiu Haţegan) can ask his name and eliminate him. The role of the fourth official is only to identify you, not to ask your name. What if I said ‘black’? If this is the Romanian word for black, what happens?“John Barnes said, according to the Daily Mail.

The moment when Hațegan and Colțescu are intimidated and threatened by those in Istanbul: “You will come to Turkey!”

In the tenth minute of the game at Parc des Princes, Mahmut Tekdemir (32 years old) committed a hard foul to the Brazilian Neymar, near the center of the field. Haţegan he quickly intervened and showed the Turk the yellow card.

At that moment, the Turks assaulted the Romanian referees for the first time. From the bank of Istanbul Basaksehir was heard, in English. “It’s the first foul, hey! The first foul! What do you think?”shouted the Turkish bank.

“What is this? Is it basketball? It’s like basketball, the lack of the first team. We played very clean.”the Istanbul gang staff members continued. “It’s a tactic. He’s not Romanian, he’s not Romanian (no, the Turks seemed to be talking to each other here). You’re coming to Turkey!”, was heard from their camp Istanbul Basaksehir, determined to pressure and intimidate. Led by Okan Buruk, head coach.

“I told you, this is very bad. Ovi, this is naughty”, since then transmitted Sebastian Colțescu its Ovidiu Hațegan. The Oltenian arbitrator was probably referring to Pierre Webo, the one that would unleash the racism scandal in a few minutes.
