Clinton Njie has addressed the controversy surrounding the racist chant that was directed at him by a group of Lyon fans during their match against Guingamp on April 4th. The chant, which was derogatory, sparked outrage but the Cameroonian striker has chosen to take the high road.
On Twitter, Njie responded to the incident, stating: “The chants don’t really affect me, don’t worry. I know it’s just a few supporters!” His calm and composed response aimed to downplay the negativity and show that he wasn’t letting the actions of a few individuals affect his mindset or his performance.
His response seems to reflect a maturity beyond his years, as he focused more on the positive aspects of his relationship with the fans and his commitment to the team. It’s clear that Njie understands that the incident was isolated and doesn’t represent the broader Lyon fanbase.
