Hiroki sakai, player of the Olympique de Marseille, posted a message on Instagram in which he exonerated Neymar of any racist insult and showed his relief after learning this Wednesday the absence of sanctions against the Brazilian and Álvaro González after PSG-Marseille. The Japanese wrote: “The last two weeks were difficult, but I am glad to know that the two players in question were not punished this time. Nobody told me anything discriminatory. We had a little discussion in a match that suddenly got a little emotional. Now that everything is over, the only important thing is that Marseille won the match. Starting next time, I will do my best to bring you an exciting derby. “
The side accompanied the text with a photo of his shirt on the Princes Park. The controversy arose in the incident between Neymar Y Alvaro Gonzalez in the French classic on September 13 in a match that also left the image of the Brazilian calling the Marseille player “Chinese shit”.
