Kevin Prince Boatengformer footballer of Milanwanted to have his say regarding the racist insults against Mike Maignan in last Saturday’s match betweenUdinese and the Rossoneri team. “It seems that compared to eleven years ago not a single step was taken in the direction of fighting racism. If in 2024 the AC Milan goalkeeper finds himself having to leave the pitch, it means that nothing has changed on the topic of racist insults. It’s a shame. I understand what he felt. To fight this battle we need everyone. The problem is that only black players always speak. If we talk about the war in Ukraine oa Gazawe are all on the front line saying that these are things that must stop existing but also regarding racism there is a need to let everyone show their face“, explains the former footballer in an interview with Republic.

Boateng too 11 years ago during the friendly match with the Pro Patria he was the victim of racist chants which forced him to abandon the field. The images went around the world and Boateng was subsequently invited to Geneva to the palaceHim to give a speech on the elimination of racial discrimination: “I also gave a speech to FIFA but if on that occasion I was excited, because I was there for bad things, now I am proud to have the opportunity to contribute to change”. The former Rossoneri player says that he has been collaborating on a project for several months with FIFA for the issue of racism and for the players’ mental health. “Everyone thinks that because we are rich and famous we don’t have problems but unfortunately that’s not the case. I know many who suffer from depressionI’ve been there too.”

Boateng then expresses his closeness to Maignan and says he sent him a message message: “I wrote to Mike twice, he’s a guy phenomenal.
