If Peter Lim is familiar with our League, it is because of Vinicius and not because of Valencia – The penultimate Raulista alive

Is there anything more ridiculous than Association of the small shareholder of Valencia report Ancelotti to the Prosecutor’s Office for his accusations of racism at Mestalla? Well, yes, there is: that the Prosecutor’s Office admit said complaint for processing. On May 21, at the end of the match between Valencia and Real Madrid that ended with Vinicius hooking up with a fan, Ancelotti said, verbatim, the following: “A stadium calling a player a monkey and the game doesn’t end stop. I told the referee to stop but he told me that the protocol is to warn over the public address system. That cannot happen. The League has a serious problem” On May 23, that is, two days later, Ancelotti rectified and said the following : “I wasn’t referring to the entire Mestalla, just the group of fans who insulted. When I refer to the Mestalla stadium, I’m not referring to 46,000 people, I’m referring to a group that has done very badly.” Despite the fact that Ancelotti rectified his words two days after they were made, this association went ahead with the complaint for insults and, fifty later, the prosecution has decided to admit it for processing. For injuries! From the coach of the footballer’s team who was called a monkey in Mestalla! From the coach of the team of the player who has been scracheado in half of Spain! No one can deny that we are in a fantastic country.

Apparently this association is concerned about the image that Valencia can be exported abroad. Don’t worry, friends, because the image couldn’t be more unfortunate, honestly. There is a video of the program circulating Al Rojo Vivo de La Sexta in which you can see how a crowd of Valencia fans yells and racist insults against Vinicius as soon as he gets off the Madrid bus. That video, I insist, is still there, you can keep watching it a thousand times: “Monkey, go to your country. You are a monkey, Vinicius you are a monkey”all accompanied by the unfortunately famous onomatopoeia of the “uh, uh, uh, uh”. That is to say, and as I have already said a lot of times and I will not tire of repeating it as many times as necessary, Vinicius was getting off the bus, he had not set foot on the ground yet, much less could he have provoked anyone, and he already they were calling monkey in Mestalla. Everyone? Obviously not. Only three? Obviously not either. What did the Valencia Small Shareholder Association say about that? Man, I don’t want to screw up but I think he didn’t open his mouth. Do you seriously believe, minority shareholders of Valencia, that Ancelotti says that Mestalla insulted Vinicius and rectifies it immediately, and that Vinicius was the object of racist insults in your stadium? If you really think that this is the case, you have two problems: racism in your field and the use that you are making of it… exactly for what? You won’t be able to win the 2000 Champions League final anymore. These members of Valencia would have all my respect if, as soon as the racist escrache occurred, they had criticized it, but they did not. The prosecution has given you a minute of glory, enjoy it. But the problem is still there.

I repeat the same thing that I said in its day: Real Madrid’s problem is pathological goodness. I have seen how a A sports journalist from Valencia called Vinicius Nelson Mandela made of plasticine. Nelson Mandela from plasticine. Man I know the job is bad but so bad? Is it so bad to call someone who has received very serious racist insults Nelson Mandela made of plasticine? The problem, as I say, is goodism. If, as soon as they received the first insult, Real Madrid had withdrawn en masse from the field, one after the other and in single file, a different rooster would be singing to us at this hour. But no, the escracheado has just been turned into a criminal while his coach has been reported to the prosecution for an indefinite adjective. I said it in its day: the problem of Mestalla is not adjectives but racism. How many racists are there? All? Of course not. Three? Not much less. I would like to believe that Real Madrid will draw some conclusion from all this, but I fear the worst. Vinicius will return to Mestalla, they will insult him again, all the players will remain on the field and, in the end, the criminal will go unpunished and the victim will be ridiculed. Nelson Mandela from plasticine. Yes, things are wrong, yes. And that I believe that if Peter Lim knows the Spanish League it is because of Vinicius and not because of Valencia.
