Lukaku’s agency: ‘Racism before, during and after the penalty’

The penalty, the racist insults, the yellow card and the chaos. Everything happened in Juve-Inter and after the expulsion (for two yellow cards) of Romelu Lukaku, RocNations, the agency led by Jay-Z who looks after the interests of the Nerazzurri centre-forward, published a statement on social media in which his president Michael Yormark condemns the racist insults and asks for the intervention of the League, as well as an apology from Juventus.

The press release

—

“The racist acts that have seen Lukaku as a target by Juve fans cannot be accepted – reads the press release -. Romelu scored a penalty in stoppage time. Before, during and after he was subjected to hostile and disgusting racial slurs. Romelu celebrated the same way he had celebrated goals previously. The referee’s response was to warn him. Romelu deserves an apology from Juventus, and we expect the League to immediately condemn the behavior of this group of Juventus fans. The Italian authorities must use this opportunity to counter racism, rather than punish the victim. We are certain that the world of football shares the same sentiment.”
