Sassuolo midfielder , Alfred Duncan has spoken about racism after his sides 1-0 loss to champions Juventus on Friday night.

"Racism is a problem and I'd rather talk about it as little as possible: the more you talk, the more it increases,” he said.

Duncan however admitted that racism has been happening on the field and on social media but not in the streets.

“The street of course it does not happen, in the field and on social yes.”

Black players have become victims of ridicule with many European players looking down upon them and demonstrating derogatory gestures to them.

Ghana’s Emmanuel Frimpong was a victim a few months ago on Russia with Brazilian Dani Alves responding to such calls in the Spanish La Liga by eating bananas that are thrown to him.

FIFA’s message has always been ‘No Racism’ but the Ghanaian has disclosed that such chants will hardly end.
