Lafont: ‘I ignore racism’

By Football Italia staff

Fiorentina goalkeeper Alban Lafont reveals he was racially abused while playing in France but “I didn’t listen”.

The Viola signed the youngster from Toulouse in the summer, and the 19-year-old has been labelled the French Gigio Donnarumma.

“It doesn’t bother me,” Lafont told Tuttosport.

“On the contrary, it’s a compliment. But I’m me and he is him.

“Racism? It happened to me once, in Corsica, but I let it wash over me and I didn’t listen. I think that’s all you can do.”
