“I’ll break all your bones!”, “Son of a bitch!”: FC Schalke 04 fans cause a racism scandal in the youth Bundesliga derby against Dortmund, causing horror beyond national borders.
The hatred of some Schalke fans at the venue is directed at Youssoufa Moukoko, against the super talented 15-year-old, who scored a hat trick for the third time in a row in Dortmund’s 3-2 win. Moukoko should “get mad” and “go to the grave,” they shout in the field. The words can be heard clearly on a live broadcast made available by the DFB.
The scenes from a few days before the meeting of the archrivals at the professional level make Saturday’s Revierderby even more obnoxious than it already is.
“Envy is the highest form of recognition”
Schalke immediately condemned the behavior of the fans and announced that they want to investigate the perpetrators as soon as possible. Fans must identify themselves with the help of the video and audio material provided.
Moukoko himself reacted with witty words on Instagram: “We may be rivals on the pitch, but we are united about it. Don’t forget that we all share a love for soccer. God made us all beautiful, we are all special. Because regardless of whether you are poor, rich, black or white: at the end of the day we all bleed the same. Anyone who says otherwise is jealous. And envy is known to be the highest form of recognition. Don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you love. “
You can understand that things get emotional in the derby, but “in the end the sport must connect us and not put limits between us.”
Fati, star of Barça, insulted by a newspaper
Ansu Fati, Moukoko’s Spanish counterpart, experiences a similar scenario. After the Champions match last Tuesday, the Spanish newspaper ABC wrote about the talent of the 17-year-old Barça: Una avenida de Barcelona, d. Red.) Go running because another tells the police with the code of ‘water, water’ ”. Shortly after, this extract goes viral, especially thanks to Antoine Griezmann. The Barça forward condemned this statement and wrote on Twitter: «Ansu is an extraordinary boy who deserves respect like any other person. No to racism and no to rudeness. “
Barça should react now too. According to “Mundo Deportivo”, the club plans a lawsuit against “ABC” journalist Salvador Sostres. Sostres, who has since apologized for his racist remarks.
Whether in Spain or Germany, attention should finally return to football. So also on Saturday in Revierderby. Then Moukoko will have to watch. Only from November 20, when he turns 16, will he be able to play for the professionals. Then you could become both the youngest player in the Bundesliga and the youngest player in the Champions League ever!
And by then he will be making his way to the junior category: nine goals in three games, a real announcement! (mpe)
Bitter setback for Borussia Dortmund. BVB have to do without defender Emre Can in the Revierderby. The German took a few days off after the last Bundesliga game (1-0 win over Hoffenheim) and has now tested positive for the corona virus. The BVB announced that Can has no symptoms and is already in home isolation. The derby against Schalke 04 takes place anyway – all the other players tested negative.
