.the UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has said that he intends to order referees to be brave enough to stop a match when there is racial abuse. This is because racism is on the increase in the last two months.
For instance, Chelsea and England winger Callum Hudson-Odoi, 18, was abused in two matches last month. Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling suffered same thing against Chelsea last December. Sterling later called in football officials to “a proper stance” and fight this epidemic.
Caferin said “The moment a match is stopped, or it’s not played, I think that 90% of normal people in the stadium would kick the asses of those idiots,” “It’s 2019, it’s not 100 years ago.”
