“If it happens, UEFA has to intervene. They have to understand that if they don’t do it, they put a great deal of responsibility on the players,” said Wijnaldum at the Dutch training camp on Thursday. The Elftal will meet the Czech Republic in the Puskas Arena on Sunday. Last week, during the game between Hungary and France in Budapest, the French striker Kylian Mbappe was racially insulted with monkey noises from the stands. UEFA then launched an investigation. There was no reaction from the referee during the game. Wijnaldum thought about the subject a lot before the game in Budapest. He will wear a captain’s bow with the words “One Love” on it. He still does not want to rule out that he will leave the place if it comes to racist insults. However, this could also be used as a tactic by opposing fans. Besides Wijnaldum, there are a few other dark-headed players in the Oranje team.
