On July 19, Beijing time, Argentina international De Paul talked about the recent controversial incident of suspected racial discrimination of Argentina internationals when he was a guest on a radio program. This is the first time that an Argentina player has spoken publicly about the matter after the turmoil. While De Paul supported Enzo, he also bombarded those Chelsea players who took Enzo on social media because of this incident.

During the celebration of the Copa America victory, Enzo and his Argentina teammates sang songs on the bus suspected of racism against France players. And Enzo even broadcast this live on social media for a time, and after this incident was exposed, it instantly caused an uproar. A number of France teammates who also play for Chelsea took down Enzo on social media for the first time. After the incident, Enzo had to personally post an apology on social media, and he could also be punished by Chelsea's team for this.

De Paul, of course, opted to stand firm with his international team-mates, angrily scolding his Chelsea team-mates who took off Enzo: "I understand that those who have been racist may not like Enzo's behaviour this time. But I think if any of Enzo's teammates feel offended, they should call him instead of posting on social media. I think there's malice in this; They want to turn it into something different. It's weird, like kicking someone in the back when they fall (falling into a well). To me, it seemed pointless to take him down. You can call him and say, 'That's not right, why don't you send a message apologizing?' That's the end of the problem. ”

DePaul also defended Enzo: "What I can defend Enzo is that he only sang that song because it was being sung at the time [on the bus at the celebration], and he didn't really want to say what the lyrics were about." ”

As of now, Enzo has not returned to Chelsea. But what is certain is that Chelsea's pre-season preparations have undoubtedly been affected by this incident. The rift between Enzo and a number of French-speaking Chelsea team-mates may also be difficult to repair.
