Antoine Baroan: “A fan brought us racist insults. It was a little difficult to enter the match”
“The first half was difficult for us. We didn't play our football, the lawn wasn't good, but that's not an excuse. The atmosphere was not ok before the match. Something happened against me and Keita. A fan brought us racist insults. It was a little difficult to enter the match.
No one knew because I tried to be focused on the match. But things from these are happening. A fan made a monkey sounds and said the word with N (no – racist insult). It was a little difficult to be in the game.
As a team, we were scared, I think, to play. It was a good team, Presing did, and the stadium was full. In the second half we played our football. But in football, when you cannot win, it is important not to lose, “said Antoine Baroan, according to digisport.ro.
