«Let it not be sea…, football is for men»expressed José Luis Chilavert through ‘X’ on March 26, one day after Vinicius‘ press conference in Valdebebas in which the Brazilian winger burst into tears. Now, on Argentine radio Splendid AM, he has spoken out again on the matter and appears not to have changed his mind.
«Why was what I said to Vinicius strong? For having common sense? Why does he start crying? He said he wants black people to be able to live better, so what do white people have to do? Do we have to commit suicide? What is the theme like? “We should not distort things,” the former Vélez legend goalkeeper began by saying.
He continued: “Discrimination exists in Argentina, in France, in the world. When I arrived from Paraguay they called me starving, that I was stealing money. Look for the insults from the Argentine public.”
«What I put on my Twitter is that football is for men. When in Paraguay we say don’t be a faggot, it’s not derogatory at all. The Netflix cameras were there and he started crying, what is left for a brunette who earns 300 dollars and has to feed 4 children? He plays for Real Madrid. Besides, he is the first to attack rivals,” he stated.
And he concluded: «When the Brazilian police beat the Argentine and Boca fans to death, where was Vinicius, who is an example of Brazil’s leaders? They hit the boys, women and veterans. “When they hit you, everything is fine, but then you disrespect them and they start to cry.”
The controversy reopens after three days. This time, through radio and not on social networks, and with a constant replica of what was stated last Tuesday.
