I hope that tomorrow it will be possible for us to attend a good match between the Real Madrid and the Valencia. And calm. A good, quiet game that, however, has been encouraged for months by very localized and very specific sectors of Valencian sports journalism. I’m not going to say the names and surnames here, but we all have them in our heads. Vinicius has been called Pinocchioit has been called tontose ha ironado with him and the Nobel Peace Prize and, although the latter is a personal conviction that I cannot prove, if he has not been directly called black again it is for the simple reason that it is not politically correct, otherwise he would have been called black. Because, and I want to insist on this, Spain is not a racist country but in Spain there are racists, there are people who firmly believe that a human being of a color different from their own is inferior. It is a social and cultural problem and if it is more evident in football it is because, since time immemorial, these individuals have taken refuge in the masses to try to release their xenophobic slogans. Not because it has been repeated many times am I going to stop insisting on the same thing: when someone uses the word “but”when someone says that “he doesn’t deserve to be called a monkey… but…”, That’s where racism lies. Or when you wonder out loud why Vinicius does call him black but they don’t call Rüdiger or Alaba, Three quarters of the same. There are no buts, and no pears.
That’s why I say that I hope and wish that tomorrow will be a good game and, from the point of view of a Real Madrid fan like me, I hope that Real resolves it soon, but… (and here I am the one who uses the adversative conjunction ) not everything has been done to make that happen. And I have to insist that yesterday’s letter from Valencia asking their fans not to engage in provocations didn’t help either. And today Ruben Barajawho by the way is doing a phenomenal job off the bench, seemed to come from Mars when he said, and I read verbatim, “we are not in this story.” Man, I know that SuperDeporte is not Valencia, even if it is a libel very close to the club, andThe journalist who called Vinicius stupid or compared him to Nelson Mandela Making fun of him is not Valencia either, but who is definitely and in no way in this story, dear Rubén, is Real Madrid, whose player was insulted (and I am sorry to have to insist on it once again) on the outskirts of Mestalla and then inside the stadium. If Valencia, which is the club to which the fans who insulted Vinicius belong, is not in this story… imagine Real Madrid, Baraja, whose footballer was called a monkey! Vinicius and Real Madrid are the attacked and not the aggressors.
Vinicius does not need therapy. Seriously, he doesn’t need her. I, who have been watching football for many years, I have witnessed much more reprehensible behavior than Vini’s on the playing field. hI have seen things you wouldn’t believe: a footballer stepping on a referee, a player celebrating a goal as if he were snorting a line of cocaine… The selfless help that the other day offered by the coach is to be appreciated, or perhaps not so much. psychologist Puyolalthough his therapy did not work with frankly rude players who shared a locker room with him as Neymar, Piqué or Luis Suárez. And we also appreciate the request that Baraja made today to the Real Madrid fans so that they respect Valencia’s fans even though it is not necessary. It’s been years since the things that happened at the Mestalla with Vinicius have happened at the Bernabéu and I’m sure that the Madrid fans behave in a way that a very specific and localized sector of the Valencia fans didn’t behave. I insist: there is peace and a good game is seen But if, and God forbid, in the end a fool does something foolish, of course we will have to look askance at him and also at the person who, from Perio-Valencianism, lit the bonfire.
