The world of football is shocked and concerned about the situation that Vinicius Jr experienced this weekend at Mestalla, the Valencia stadium. The Real Madrid player received verbal racist acts, and in the end he was expelled for reacting badly...
Now, a legend of English football and more specifically, from Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand, has spoken about it and has sent a message of support to Vinicius Jr but also, a wake-up call to the Spanish La Liga, who seem to do nothing about it...
“Vini receives a red card after being choked and receiving racial insults during the match...wt* How many times do we need to see this young man subjected to this shi*? I see pain, I see upset, I see him needing help. And the authorities don't do shit to help him. People need to stick together and demand more from the authorities that run our game.
What else did he say?
Rio Ferdinnand finished his support message with this sentence: "No one deserves this, but you are allowing it. There needs to be a unified approach to this, otherwise it will be swept under the rug AGAIN." His words wuickly went viral, as people say he's doing more for Vinicius than the League itself.
