Neither Modric nor Kroos, the Real Madrid player who defended Vinicius from racist insults in Spain

Vinicius Junior has been involved in controversial episodes during the last season. The Brazilian player is not well received in some venues in Spain, where fans have even resorted to unfortunate racist insults towards the Brazilian. Now, one of his teammates finally talks about it and defends the player before the start of this new season.

Vinicius Junior has been the subject of much criticism due to his provocative behavior on the pitch. However, under no circumstances are racist attacks excusable in any type of context. The center-back Rudiger has come out in defense of the Brazilian winger and wanted to emphasize in an interview for 'GQ' that anyone who is racist with Vinicius is also with him.

“If you ask me if Vinícius Jr suffers from it, it is evident that he does. And when they insult him and are racist towards him, they are automatically racist towards me, even though they have not said it directly to me”, Rudiger confessed about the most recent episodes of racism in the fields in Spain.

What did Rudiger say?

"If you ask me if someone has been racist with me in Spain, the answer is no. There was a misunderstanding in Cádiz: it was published that they had been racist with me but I did not hear them call me 'Mono' or 'Negro de mierda' or those barbaric things that they say", begins by answering Rüdiger after being asked about it.
