Ezequiel Lavezzi apologises after doing a massive racism

The Argentina forward swapped PSG for Hebei China Fortune of the Chinese Super League last year. The move saw him become the world's highest paid player with a weekly wage of £798,000.
Yep, you read that right. Seven hundred and ninety eight thousand pounds a week.
Decent gig really, isn't it? Just show up for training, play once a week or so, don't do anything to offend the entire population of the nation where you're now employed...
What's that?
Yeah, he did the slanted eyes thing.
Before hastily releasing a statement that read: 'Per the request of the Chinese Super League, we took the official photos for the season.
'We were given instructions by the official photographer and I was trying to make some interesting photos by making some funny faces, which would be used afterwards for entertainment purposes.
'I had no intention of insulting the Chinese people and did not do it with any bad intentions.
'I'm very happy to be here as part of the Hebei club. I have had a great time here with my team-mates and it has been a great journey. Every Chinese person around me is friendly and I love my life here.
'I deeply apologise if this photo has offended the Chinese public and fans. I will be more careful in the future.'
The club added, 'Since joining us at the beginning of 2016, Lavezzi has been getting along very well with the team and been loved by fans too.
'He has expressed his love for China many times too. Now we have communicated with him and have clarified he had no bad intentions and he deeply apologised for any offence caused.
'As a club, we apologise for our neglect in our work. We will be more careful in the future.'
Now that's sorted someone might want to have a word about his form. If the figures are correct he'll have earned about £50m since joining Hebei last February. In that time he's made just 15 appearances and scored 2 goals. And you thought Wayne Rooney was nicking a living...
