Chelsea superstar supports Enzo Fernandez after controversial video causes outrage

Nicholas Jackson has made one of the most bravest decisions of all-time as he has posted on Instagram and has come in support of Enzo Fernandez. The midfielder has been subject to a lot of criticism after being caught on camera allegedly screaming a racist and transphobic song. 

The former Villareal striker posted a video of Enzo playing with his kid and through this he wanted to demonstrate that Enzo just committed a small mistake and does not believe in discriminating against anyone in any manner. Jackson posted two stories and the other one included him, Enzo and Marc Cucurella chilling during a Chelsea training session. This support is crucial to Enzo after some of his Chelsea teammates unfollowed him on social media.

Enzo Fernandez issues apology after video goes viral

This incident took place after Argentina defeated Colombia in the Copa America 2024 final, Chelsea player Enzo Fernandez has apologized. There was a lot of outrage across social media since the video went viral and many Chelsea players also unfollowed the Argentine on Instagram. 

After Argentina defeated Colombia, Fernandez and others from his team were heard performing a song disparaging the players from France. After the squad sang the first two phrases of the chant on the video, which was shared on social media, somebody in the background advised Fernandez that they should "cut the video." The offensive song first appeared around the time of France vs. Argentina during the 2022 World Cup final. The lyrics read as follows: 

The former Benfica midfielder issued an apology and did not mince his words at all as he said, "I want to sincerely apologize for a video posted on my Instagram channel during the national team celebrations. The song includes highly offensive language, and there is absolutely no excuse for these words. I stand against discrimination in all forms and apologize for getting caught up in the euphoria of our Copa America celebrations. That video, that moment, those words do not reflect my beliefs or my character. I am truly sorry."
