CBF Geram Sawa Richarlison Jadi Korban Racism Di Laga Brasil Vs Tunisia
JAKARTA - The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) has opened its voice regarding acts of racism that have been repeated on the ground. CBF is furious that the Brazilian national team striker, Richarlison de Andrade, became a victim of negative actions while playing against Tunisia in friendly matches.
Quoted from Sky Sport, the act of racism took place at the Parc des Prince Stadium, Paris on Wednesday morning WIB. In that match, Brazil won 5-1 over Tunisia where one of the goals was a contribution from Richarlison.
Successfully breaking into the opponent's goal, Richarlison celebrated as usual. However, at the same time, when the player ran to the corner of the field, he got unpleasant treatment.
The player in front of Tottenham, Richarlison was thrown by bananas. It was a form of racial abuse against him, on the sidelines of Brazil's victory over Tunisia in a friendly party," the report reads.
In the video circulating, it can also be seen that Fred, who is Richarlison's teammate, kicked the banana. But, not just being thrown at by bananas, there were also other objects that were thrown into the field.
This situation is clearly in contrast to the campaign carried out before the match took place. Brazil had taken pictures carrying anti-racism banners.
"Without our black players, we wouldn't have had a few stars on our uniforms," the quote read on the banner.
CBF immediately took action against what happened to Richarlison. They responded angrily to the racist treatment that took place at the Parc des Prince Stadium and asked the authorities to give punishment.
"After Brazil's second goal, a banana was thrown at Richarlison. CBF strengthened its stance on discrimination and vehemently rejected other acts of racism in football. Whether on or off the field, a attitude like this, is intolerable," the CBF said in a statement.
CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues admitted that he was surprised by the negative actions that occurred directly in front of his eyes. He emphasized that acts of racism were not justified for any reason.
"We must always remember, we are all the same, regardless of skin color, race, or religion," said Rodrigues.
