Alonso now choosing to stand and point at anti-racism message‘I prefer to do it this way, to say clearly I am against racism’Marcos Alonso says he has stopped taking the knee before matches this season because he feels the power of the action has been diluted. The
Chelsea wing-back has chosen instead to stand and point at the anti-racism message on the sleeve of his shirt.
Alonso was asked to explain his thinking after Chelsea’s 3-0 win at
Tottenham on Sunday and, although he did not go into detail, he made clear he believes there is a better way to make the point than by kneeling.
