After the tributes to Vinicius before the meeting against Rayo Vallecano (36th day of La Liga), this Wednesday, the Madridians of Real continued their demonstrations of support for the Brazilian victim of racist insults on Sunday, during the match and after.
First there was the attitude of Rodrygo, who scored 2-1 in the 89th minute, after a first goal from Benzema. The Brazilian froze and raised his right arm in the air, bent, with a clenched fist, before sending to draw a heart with his fingers in the direction of Vinicius present at the edge of the field and absent due to pain on one knee.
After the match, Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, gave news of his striker: “Vinicius is mentally well, all the support received in recent days has done him good. If he hadn’t had this discomfort in his knee, he would have played. We will see tomorrow (this Thursday) and Friday how he feels, to make him play on Saturday.
He spoke of Rodrygo’s gesture: “I didn’t see it, but it was a gesture of support, of camaraderie towards a teammate, who was a little touched by everything that happened in recent days. , from a player who is a great friend of Vinicius”.
Ancelotti then continued: “A lot has happened in the last few days, and I believe that society, not just the sports world, has become aware of something very important. This is a step forward, I hope this issue will be resolved soon. Everyone realizes what happened, what is happening. I don’t think that will happen again. There has been a collective awareness, things will improve quickly”.
Finally, on the decision of the Spanish Federation to cancel the suspension of Vinicius, Ancelotti clarified: “This decision surprised me. Honestly, I didn’t think that could happen. Their initial decision (Editor’s note: the red card) had been a mistake, they changed their minds, and that seems correct to me.
