Algerian international Adam Wanas, a player of the Italian club of Crotone, was exposed to a series of racist statements, some of which amounted to death threats from Turin club supporters.
Some wished him “death” and demanded that he “return to Africa” and in one of the comments described him as a “monkey” and a “nigger”.
And people re-posted those comments on his official account, asking, “Is it normal for this to happen?”
The president of Croton, Janie Vrena, said in a statement on the club’s official website: “Racism must always be condemned, and in any circumstance, clearly and explicitly.” And he added, “It is not enough to talk about the behavior of a” few people “. Each person must have an unequivocal position, especially for people like us who are an example for millions of children.”
Ferina stressed that: “Wanas is a football player, but above all he is a young man. What makes him” different “from others is his talent only.
The playmaker scored the last goal in the match in stoppage time, and passed the decisive ball in the third goal and was named man of the match.
