The match between Valencia and Real Madrid was halted due to alleged racist insults from the stands towards Vinny Jr., the meringue player.
Controversy renewed in LaLiga, after Vinicius Junior denounced the alleged new racist insults, during Real Madrid’s match against Valencia, in Mestalla. The referee even interrupted the match, and in the end, Meringue coach Carlo Ancelotti harshly criticized what happened.
Already on social networks, the Brazilian international once again condemned the alleged insults and considered racism “normal in LaLiga” and stated that “today, in Brazil, Spain is known as the country of racists”.
“It wasn’t the first time, not the second, not the third. Racism is normal in LaLiga. The competition thinks it’s normal, and the federation does it too and the opponents encourage it. I’m very sorry. The championship that used to belong to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi, today belongs to racists. A beautiful nation that welcomed and loved me but agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world,” he began writing.
“I’m sorry for the Spaniards who don’t agree, but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as the country of racists. Unfortunately, I can’t defend everything that happens every week. I agree. But I am strong and I will stand against racists until the end. Even if I’m far from here He concluded, in a post full of supportive comments, whether from fellow professionals, clubs or fans.
However, Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, did not linger and ended up responding to the player, also on social networks:
“As those who do not have to explain what LaLiga can do in cases of racism, we have tried to explain it to you, but you have not shown up for any of the agreed appointments that you have requested yourself. Before criticizing and insulting LaLiga, it is essential that you educate yourself well, Vienne. Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated and make sure you fully understand each other’s skills and the work we’ve been doing together.”
Vinicius Jr. continued exchanging messages:
Once again, instead of criticizing the racists, the LaLiga president appeared on social media to attack me. As much as he talks and pretends not to read, a picture of his heroism shook. Watch the responses to his posts and get a surprise… Deleting yourself only makes you equal to racism. I’m not your friend to talk About racism. I want actions and punishments. The hashtag doesn’t move me, “it can be read.
