The 4th referee speaks and argues that he is not racist

It is a controversy that could perhaps help advance the issue of racism in football. Indeed, last night, the 4th referee of the match between PSG and Istanbul Basaksehir, the Romanian Sebastian Coltescu, had racist remarks to an assistant of the Turkish club, Pierre-Achille Webo. And the day after this incident, the main concerned spoke up to defend himself, as explained Brand.

Coltescu argues not to be racist

He said, “I’m just trying to be good. I’m not going to read news sites these days. Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a racist! At least I hope so.” While the main referee of the meeting made a point of apologizing earlier, Coltescu now speaks and therefore defends himself against the charges against him. But a thorough investigation was opened by UEFA last night.
