"I played against him many times and we always have problems with each
other," said Drenthe in the new edition of Heroes . He was regularly in
Spain against FC Barcelona.
"You know what bothers me so? That tone with which he always "negro,
negro 'told me. I understand that negro in South America is very common,
but we can not stand it. "
"Mahamadou Diarra, my teammate at Real, could explode if negro said to
him. The Argentinean Gabriel Heinze and Gonzalo Higuain said it
initially on the training of Real, but they are stopped. "
This was according Drenthe not Messi, who two seasons ago for the last clashed with the world footballer of the year.
"When we won Hercules Alicante to Barcelona. During the race I had a
small altercation with him. For the game he gave me a hand in the match
was again a few times 'hola negro'. "
"After the race I was not using him. No, he will invite me on his birthday. "

So I suppose you all hate Messi now and he is an intolerable racist that disgraces the game right? I'll be waiting for RR to start multiple threads on the conduct of one Lionel Messi.
There are two other brilliant parts in this. He states that Heinze and Higuain called Diarra negro but stopped after they were told it's not okay....just like Suarez. yet suarez is taken to the cleaners for it.
Also, surely there's no possible way that Heinze could have done something like that AFTER having played in England and for ManU, where as I have been told it's been made clear to all that it is not okay to use language like that.
Oh the world we live in.
