Football people have been quick to support him Vinicius Jrwho was once again racially attacked during Real’s away match against Valencia.
THE Xavi raised a shield of protection to the Brazilian, stressing the seriousness of the matter, saying that teams should not play when this happens.
“Unfortunately in a more general context there are incidents of racism and it is a shame. It’s sad that things like this are happening in 2023. We condemn any form of racism on any pitch, against any player. There are no excuses.
We must condemn any form of racism like the one that took place yesterday in Mestaja against Vinicius. Valencia is trying to identify the perpetrators. It seems we are not moving forward, we need to stand strong and eliminate racism once and for all.
Football is the only place where such insults are made. I’m at the counter and they call me “who@@@@ son” while I’m working. I don’t see any bakers, teachers or builders experiencing anything like that. It’s time to stop. Let’s say that we are not playing, that we are going home. It is a message to La Liga and the Federation. I have no obligation to tolerate insults.
If you insult a builder, a brick will land on your head. We must all be in this together and toughen our stance. We should not play if we are insulted. It is not good for society. We have to change.”
