Jose Mourinho promised a pair of €800 worth of sneakers to Roma champion Felix Avena Gyan in Genoa, and he handed it over. This Monday, the yellow and red A video was published showing the Portuguese coach presenting the gift to the Ghanaian youth.
However, this gesture was marked by a racist comment made by the Romanian badge official. “They are bananas,” the club member said as Felix opened the gift given by Mourinho.
The attacker saw the need to clarify the situation on social media, stressing that the comment was a joke and had no racist connotation at all.
“I read many comments on the video and I want to assure you that I was not offended by the sound I heard. It was not a racist comment. From the first day I arrived in Rome I have been well received by everyone. People play with me like family does. I eat a lot of Bananas and this became a joke here. That’s why I heard this comment. I feel at home since I arrived in Rome. I appreciate the support everyone here in Trigoria has given me. People got the wrong idea about what happened” Gazzetta dello sport.
