He's probably not the only one fighting racism in the world of football, but his case is always in the spotlight...
Real Madrid footballer Vinicius Jr. often experienced insults on pitches across Spain, almost always because of this he got into discussions with fans, gestured towards them, and recently before the match between Spain and Brazil, he broke down in tears at the press conference when his fight was discussed.
Experienced Villarreal midfielder Dani Parejo believes that the Brazilian footballer should be above all...
"Vinicius is a spectacular player, with incredible possibilities, and I think he needs to dedicate himself to the game the most," said Pareho, quoted by Marko.
He points out that opposing fans will always go against the other team's players.
"When you play for Real it's always a special atmosphere, people will always try to 'poke' you in some way... For years I've been playing on various fields, they called me a drunkard or whatever, but I didn't argue with people, nor did I gesticulated towards them. It's unnecessary," said the Villarreal footballer.
He thinks that the behavior of Vinicius is not correct...
"A football player must be above these situations, and in a certain part of his behavior, Vinicius makes mistakes," Parejo concluded.
The "Vinisius case" arose in the spring of 2023, when a Real player was insulted by Valencia fans at "Mestaja" with ugly shouts, to which Vinisius reacted with various gestures towards them.
He recently visited the same stadium again, this time there were no insults, but the Brazilian took the opportunity to celebrate the goal with a clenched fist towards the Valencia fans.
After the incident with "Mestaje", fans of many other teams throughout Spain tried to provoke him in a similar way, so Vinicius reported insults at matches with Atlético Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona...
