Istanbul's assistant coach at Shakespeare, Pierre Wobo, who was in the eye of the racist storm in the game between the Turks and PSG in the middle of the week after the fourth referee called him 'black' said in an interview that December 8 will be remembered as an important day to fight racism.

Remember the game in the Champions League was stopped after 13 minutes after Wubo was humiliated by Sebastian Kolescu and the team players went down to the locker room and refused to resume the game. Only a day later, on Wednesday, after the refereeing team was replaced the game was renewed.

"Now it's clear to everyone that this day will be remembered forever. It was a hard, very hard day. It's very stressful, I asked our doctor to give me some pills to sleep. I do not want people to focus on me and it would be a shame if they kept reminding me inside this event. Those two days were the hardest in my career. "

Meanwhile, UEFA has announced that it will conduct an investigation and look into things in depth in what could end Kolescu's career.

I think the most important thing is the solidarity between the players and the message we sent to the world. "
