Original Title: Nampalys Mendy on CAF’s decision: “It’s African football that takes a hit. It’s not just Senegal. Nobody respects us after this kind of thing. Here, the English are talking about it and laughing. At my own club, at Watford, they are talking about it too. People see Africans as clowns.“
FM: What’s your take on CAF’s decision to award the AFCON to Morocco two months after the final?
NM: It’s a scandal. For me, it’s African football that takes a hit. It’s not just Senegal. It’s African football as a whole. Nobody respects us after this kind of thing. Here, the English are talking about it and laughing. At my own club, at Watford, people are talking about it too. People see Africans as clowns. It’s not normal. It’s also ridiculous for the Moroccans.
