On July 19, Argentine player De Paul defended the Enzo incident. De Paul believes that the song Enzo sang did not involve racial discrimination but was a form of jest.
In response, media figure Xu Zexin expressed his dissatisfaction and shared his thoughts on social media, writing: “De Paul’s remarks are truly denial to the bitter end, still supporting Enzo. These people’s disregard after winning the championship truly exemplify George Bernard Shaw’s famous quote: ‘There are two tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, and the other is getting it.’ Sometimes, if one cannot handle everything that comes with such honors, it can instead obscure their self-perception.”
