The situation happened amid the coach’s statements about the racist act suffered by Vinicius Junior during Real Madrid’s visit to Valencia.
Another unfortunate situation occurred this Sunday in Spain. In the middle of the match between Valencia and Real Madrid for the Hispanic league, the Brazilian player Vinicius Junior has accused of having heard and seen from one of the galleries of the stadium racist gestures against him .
For this reason, the referee of the match decided to stop the match to speak with the merengue attacker who was out of control of the situation.
Ancelotti’s defense
During the post-match press conference, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti spoke about the situation Vinicius had to face in the stadium.
“I spoke to him during the game. The atmosphere was very hot, very bad. I asked him if he wanted to continue playing because the atmosphere was racist, it doesn’t seem right to me. I never thought of removing a player for racism . It never happened to me, not like that. The Spanish League has a problem, which is not Vinicus,” he said.
“I am very sad. We have to end it because we are in 2023, racism should not exist. Now it’s true that there is a protocol, the referee explained that you have to warn people first and if they do it again, go home “, he added.
Although one of his most controversial sayings was that “the stadium shouted “monkey, monkey”. He’s a boy, he likes to play football, he wanted to continue, but in this situation it’s very complicated ”.
Of course, this last sentence caught the attention of a journalist present at the scene, who questioned this sentence.
“Since he already had a problem with the language, I qualify him. Mestalla never said monkey. you said fool . I think you’re playing with a theme that maybe you should develop more. With racism, we are all against it. But if you’re referring to shouts from the pitch that weren’t such, because they said “silly” and not “cute,” I think there’s a very important line to toe. “, indicated the worker of Radio Marca.
Ancelotti’s response was “Why did the referee stop the game? Did you stop playing because they called you (Vinicius) an idiot? The game stopped because it opened the racism protocol ”.
Then the journalist insisted: “I think it would be in your interest to clearly explain the reasoning you are doing, which is very serious. To say that a camp of 46,002 people today had a racist vibe. I think this is a serious accusation and I would like you to justify it. ”.
Considering this, Ancelotti replied that “if they called him stupid or they called him cute… the referee stopped the game to open the racism protocol. If a stadium shouts at you stupidly, it does not open the protocol . Talk to the referee, why has the game stopped,” he concluded before leaving the conference room.
Vinicius’ message
After the match, the Brazilian national team left with everything. “It was not the first time, nor the second, nor the third,” the striker began, emphasizing on his Twitter account.
“Racism is normal in La Liga. The competition thinks it’s normal, the Federation too and the opponents encourage it. Sorry. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi now belongs to the racists “, He continued.
“A beautiful nation, which welcomed me and the one I love, but which agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world. I am sorry for the Spaniards who do not agree , but today in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. And unfortunately, for everything that happens every week, I have no defense. I agree. PBut I am strong and I will go all the way against the racists. Even if it’s far from here “, he concluded in his message.
