Racist Ralf? and 'A whole village in Guinea’...
SMH...
RB Leipzig’s sporting director, Ralf Rangnick, has criticised Naby Keïta’s entourage and claimed the midfielder has had his head turned by “a whole village in Guinea”.
Keïta has been the subject of two failed bids from Liverpool, with the latest – a £66m offer that would have shattered their transfer record – rejected last week. Jürgen Klopp has made the 22-year-old his priority in midfield this summer, with Keïta understood to have informed Leipzig he is keen to move to Anfield.
However, despite reports in Germany that last season’s Bundesliga runners-up were searching for replacements, Rangnick insisted that neither Keïta nor the attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg would be leaving the club.
“There should be someone who points them into the right direction,” he said at a coaching convention in Bochum on Wednesday. “The boys themselves are not the problem here. It is their surroundings. A whole village in Guinea or somebody from their entourage tells the players why they must do something right away. I can’t blame the players.
“I expect them to play for us next season. Both are extraordinary players who make the difference for our team.”
Guardian sport has contacted Keïta’s agents for comment. They are understood to have held talks with Leipzig on Wednesday having met Klopp this week during Liverpool’s pre-season tour to Hong Kong.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Ralf Rangnick has attempted to explain his comments about Naby #Keita. It's not a great attempt...

Now, The Guardian’s Ed Aarons has revealed that Rangnick has tried to justify his comments by saying:
“Many players with an African backround, and I’ve met a lot of them, there is a clan and sometimes a whole village that feeds with the help of a player. And that there are people who demand that he has to change, that is so.
Believe me, my knowledge of geography is sufficient to distinguish Guinea from Africa.”
Many are of the opinion that he has not made the situation any better. Yesterday, Aarons also revealed that Keita’s entourage are said to have spoken to Rangnick about the players future having been in contact with Jürgen Klopp whilst he and the Liverpool squad were in Hong Kong.
It remains to be seen how the player and his representatives will react to the Leipzig sporting director’s comments.

Ok. What about Emil Fosberg- does a whole village in Sweden also get involved in his case?
And Neymar? What whole village in Brazil is involved in his transfer saga?

Keeps putting his foot in his mouth...
So a Trans-Atlantic slave-dealer wasn't a racist because he "owned several Africans?"
No wonder he seems "outraged" that Keita desires to further his career...

Why are you guys attempting to defend the guy? Clearly, it is a statement I. Poor taste then he claims "ownership" as if he is a slavemaster.

Re: Racist Ralf? and 'A whole village in Guinea’...
Ralf Rangnick is not being racist.. He was the coach of fast rising Hoffeiheim those days, that took the Bundesliga by suprise and kind of messed Chinedu Ogbuke career, that only when they discovered he was injury prone, Hoffeihem finally sold an almost expired Ogbuke to Schalke..
I am afraid keita would miss a big opportunity to make more money he sticks with RB Leipzig.. RB Leipzig is a fast rising club back by Rich and ambitious owners. They scout for the best talents with value for money and now tie them down untill they get the most from them. When your talents is not yet known, these clubs are the place to be, but they hardly sell, because they know it would cost a lot to replace..
So if Keita is serious about leaving, he should get a good agent to handle this for him.. Or best just milk the situation to get MEGA salary..

And this bombshell:
He is comfortable expressing some derogatory perceptions about Africans, and he's not racist?..."How can i possibly be racist? Would a racist own several Africans ?"...
The fact he covets African talent doesn't excuse the fact that his perception of Africans is racist...same as the white slave-owners who "valued" the slaves for the simple reason they were assets that made money for the slave-owner...
Racism does not necessarily begin & end with 'dislike' or 'abhorrence' of a person of a different race to the point that contact or communication is excluded; it can exist in subtle forms; like expressions...
You can value black music, or black players, and still be racist...
For e.g. you can't love watching LeBron James and at the same time truly believe (without empirical evidence) that he belongs to a race with a lower IQ than a caucasian...and then claim you're not racist on account of the fact that you adore his athletic prowess...
Abeg, stop making excuses for the man; his comments are racist, so he's racist...
