Argentinian Alejandro Fantino mocked Farfán's nickname and outraged Peruvians [VIDEO]

VIDEO. From the passions that the Peru vs Argentina match for the Russia 2018 Qualifiers aroused, unexpected protagonisms appeared from the Albiceleste side such as Alejandro Fantino. The Argentine journalist returned to controversy with a comment about Jefferson Farfán's nickname that outraged the fans of the Peruvian National Team.

In his program Fantino 90 on Radio La Red in Argentina, the host wanted to highlight the football and physical contribution of Jefferson Farfán, who could miss the match of the Peruvian National Team due to a muscular issue. However, Alejandro Fantino ended his statements with a racist comment that sought to put a smile on his listeners, without achieving his goal.

"He has muscular fatigue. But imagine if they called him 'the lion’ Farfán or 'the Tiger of Malaysia'. You would fall... on your knees. But you are going to face a guy they call 'the Foquita' (Little Seal). Can you imagine him spreading his fins in front of the ball?" said Alejandro Fantino about Jefferson Farfán, which sparked the indignation of the fans of the Peruvian National Team on social networks.

Alejandro Fantino is the same journalist who praised Paolo Guerrero before the Peru vs Argentina match by comparing him to a fictional character. "They call one 'the Predator', Paolo Guerrero, who looks like one of those who chased the Indian in Apocalypto. The Aztec chief looks like Paolo Guerrero, all tattooed and tough," said the Argentine journalist.

Surely after the Peru vs Argentina match, these protagonisms will dissipate and Alejandro Fantino's figure will remain focused in the purely Argentinean field. From the side of the Peruvian National Team, it is expected that Jefferson Farfán will do his part to seek a good result in La Bombonera.
