YOU CAN’T DO THAT! Bulgaria Blast England Players For Planning To Do This If They Face Monkey Chants

England players’ plan to leave the pitch if they are racially abused during Monday’s Euro 2020 qualifier in Sofia has been called “offensive” by Bulgaria’s Football Union.

The game will be played in a partially closed stadium following Bulgaria fans’ racist behaviour at games in June.

In a letter to European football’s governing body Uefa, BFU president Borislav Mihaylov called England’s plans “the unjust branding of local spectators as people inclined to discriminatory behaviour”.

England forward Tammy Abraham said on Wednesday that the players are prepared to “all come off the pitch together” if they are “not happy”.

Mihaylov wrote:

“The Bulgarian public has in no way committed any recent infringements that deserve it to be stereotyped as ‘racist’ or ‘hostile’.

“I am sure you will agree that these accusations are not only unjust but are continuous attempts to disrupt the atmosphere before a very much anticipated game of football.

“We are aware of the recent problems with racist behaviour in all tiers of English club football and with England’s ongoing battle with hooliganism.

“Although we sincerely applaud the FA’s initiative for the English fans to report trouble within the visiting crowd, we are extremely shocked at all efforts to involve and even mark out the Bulgarian spectators as potential troublemakers.”
