Vinicius Jr and racism in La Liga, a never ending story…

Carlo Ancelotti was clear at the end of the game that Valencia won 1-0 against Real Madrid at the Mestalla. The Italian coach was angry with the decisions made by the referees and attacked LaLiga for all the demeaning insults that Vinicius Junior had to suffer in his own face, something that is repeated every weekend.

The Brazilian soccer player was very punished by the fans of Valencia. Due to a fight towards the end and with very hot weather, Hugo Duro aggressively grabbed him by the neck and Vini reacted with a blow to his face that ended up getting Madrid's '20' a red card. The former Flamengo was very nervous because of all the insults he received during the duel and his coach came out to defend him.

Ancelotti: "I don't want to talk about football. I'm very angry. What has happened today is a shame. The whole stadium has called Vinicius a monkey and I think that LaLiga has a very serious problem with this", was the beginning of the Italian coach's words , that the referee told him to suspend the game because of what the people of Valencia were singing.

Ancelotti: "I have asked Vinicius if he wanted to continue playing but then I have told him that he was not the culprit and that he did not have to leave. The referee has told me the protocol, but it does not seem like a solution to me because there is no need to report anything anymore you know what not to do", Ancelotti pointed out against judge Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea.

Faced with such a delicate situation, Neymar Jr, who has had unpleasant experiences regarding racism, commented on an Instagram story: I'm with you, Vini", along with an emoji of strength and a black heart.
