Real Madrid coach Carlo Anchelotti said he was considering removing the team from the field after the incident with Vinicius Junior in the match of the 35th day of the Spanish championship with Valencia.
On Sunday, Vinicius was the victim of racist insults from supporters in the stands of the Mestalla stadium. The encounter was suspended after the Brazilian urged the referee to pay attention to the behavior of the fans.
“We are all worried about what happened. It just seems right that there is so much talk about it. This is a great opportunity to rectify the situation. Spain is not a racist country for me… but there is racism. On the football pitch, it has to stop.
I’m waiting to see what happens. I hope something will happen. And, of course, I’m worried. Because for me it’s an important moment… and I’m watching the Federation and La Liga.
Judgment is not enough. We started doing this a long time ago… but no action has yet been taken to end this problem of racism.
Have you spoken to Vinicius?
Yes, it is very sad. But he knows he has everyone’s support, not just Madrid. Unconditional support…even rivals.
Do you regret not having sent your players to the locker room?
– I thought about it, yes. I asked the player if he wanted to continue and the referee asked him to do so.
I hope I will never have to do that, because I don’t want to: there is a judge who is responsible for making this decision, ”quotes Marca Ancelotti.
Valencia have already opened disciplinary proceedings. Fans involved in the incident will be banned from the stadium for life by the club.
“Real” announced on Monday that he had filed a complaint with the Spanish Attorney General’s office regarding Vinicius’ situation.
