Vinicius Jr. (La Liga)
The phenomenon of racism in Spanish football, and especially towards Vinicius Jr., continues. The Brazilian was booed by Valladolid fans at the Jose Surya Stadium when he was replaced in Real Madrid’s 2-0 defeat of the Purples and posted great criticism about it on his social network, when there were no debtors left in the Spanish league.
As I recall, Vinicius He wrote in his angry post: “The racists continue to come to the stadiums and watch closely the best team in the world, and La Liga continues without doing anything. I will continue to have my head held high and celebrate my and Real Madrid’s victories. In the end, it’s my fault.” He obviously meant the last part of the sentence sarcastically.
Racists keep going to stadiums and watching the biggest club in the world up close and @LaLiga keep doing nothing…
I will continue with my head held high and celebrating my victories and those of Madrid.
In the end it’s MY fault. pic.twitter.com/5ztuTjP4s6— Vini Jr. (@vinijr) December 31, 2022
There are no debtors and the president left in La Liga Javier Tabas He replied to the Real Madrid star: “We have been fighting racism for years and it is very unfortunate and unfair on Vinicius’ part to publish that we are not doing anything against racism.” The organization also stated: “We will analyze the tapes of the game, there is no place for racism in La Liga and we will investigate the issue.”
In @laliga we have been fighting RACISM for years. @vinijr It is very unfortunate, unfair and it is not true to publish that “@laliga does nothing against racism, find out more. We are at your disposal so that ALL TOGETHER, we can go in the same direction. https://t.co/60US2Gyk1h

Meanwhile, in Spain they didn’t just deal with the story of the young star but also with his gesture against the referee, just before he was sent off in the 86th minute. The social media exploded against the Brazilian, with the reason being that the referee Munoera Montero told him that he had to leave the field on the sidelines in order not to waste time – something that did not suit Vinny.
The left-winger then argued with the referee and called him ‘crazy’ with his hands, while team-mate Ferlan Mendy shooed him away to leave the pitch. This is the second time Vinicius has called a referee ‘crazy’ in 2022, the first time being against Sevilla. In both cases, the player did not receive a penalty.
