Vinicius Junior is one of Real Madrid’s fittest footballers. The Brazilian striker has become very important for the champions of Spain and Europe, who count only victories in the new season.
The 22-year-old has faced racist insults, as he writes on social networks: “As long as the color of the skin is more important than the brightness of the eyes, there will be war.
I have this phrase tattooed on my body. It’s a thought that always runs through my mind. This is the attitude and philosophy I try to apply in my life.
The happiness of the victory of a black Brazilian brings worries in Europe, but my desire to win, the smile and the twinkle in my eyes are greater than racism”, writes the Brazilian.
Meanwhile, the Spanish club has defended the attacker through an official statement. “Real Madrid rejects any kind of racist and xenophobic expression and behavior in the field of football, sport and life in general, such as the deplorable comments made in recent hours towards our player Vinicius Junior.
Real wants to show all the love and support to Vinicius Junior, a player who interprets football as an attitude to life based on joy, respect and sportsmanship.
Football, which is the most global sport that exists, should be an example of values and coexistence. The club has instructed that legal action be taken against anyone who uses racist language towards our players.”
