Faced with the worldwide repercussions surrounding the episode, Vinicius Jr opted to use social networks and demand important measures from the Spanish league
After suffering a new case of racism in Spainthe attacker vinicius jr decided to take a firm stand to try to put an end to the crimes committed against him. According to information from the portal “Uol Esporte”, the Brazilian will talk to the press soon. In the statement, he intends to adopt a very critical tone and even threaten to leave the Real Madrid.
According to the publication, Vini Jr has been evaluating the best time to talk about the topic once again. It is worth mentioning that he used social networks to condemn the racist attacks against him in the game against Valence. At the time, the Real Madrid star was called “monkey” and was still expelled because of the fight with rivals.
In addition to the conversation with the press, Vinicius Jr released a video on social media and asked that cases of racism be severely punished. “Every round away from home is an unpleasant surprise. And there were many this season. Death wishes, hanged doll, many criminal screams… All registered“, began the Real Madrid striker.
“But the discourse always falls into ‘isolated cases’, ‘a fan’. No, these are not isolated cases. They are continuous episodes spread across several cities in Spain (and even in a television program). The evidence is there in the video. Now I ask: how many of these racists had names and photos exposed on websites? I answer to make it easier: zero“, continued Vini Jr.
“What is missing to criminalize these people? And punish clubs sportingly? Why don’t sponsors charge La Liga? Don’t televisions bother to broadcast this barbarity every weekend? The problem is very serious and communications no longer work. Not blaming myself to justify criminal acts either“, concluded the Brazilian ace.
Real Madrid highlighted the solidarity between Vini Jr’s players and teammates, citing some relevant names. “Legends, players and coaches, some of them as significant on the international scene as Ronaldo Nazario, Mbappé, Rio Ferdinand, Neymar, Kaká, Jadon Sancho, Lineker, Roberto Carlos or Casemiro, among dozens and dozens of figures in world football.”he wrote.
