Vinicius: “If I am alone in the fight against racism, the system will crush me”
Vinicius spoke in an interview with France Football about the racist attacks he received in Spanish stadiums and La Liga’s initial reluctance to put an end to them, while also tipping his hat to Kylian Mbappe.
Vinicius is one of the players who attracted countless attention last season, not only because of his impressive performances on the pitch in the Real jersey, but also because of the racist attacks against him that led to some outbursts against him.
In an interview with “France Football”, the Brazilian striker made it clear that he raised the flag of revolution against the racists in order to mobilize the healthy part of sports fans, not only in Spain but throughout the world, thus excluding individuals become.
““I said that Spain was a racist country because of what happened in the Real Madrid game against Valencia, but even before that game there were incidents of racism in all the away games. La Liga did nothing.”
I had already spoken to them to tell them that something needed to change, but they weren’t listening to me. They listened to me from the moment everyone started talking about Spain. That made her react.
I want to be calm when I play so I know I won’t be insulted on the field because I’m black. A fan insults me because I’m against his team, okay. He can insult me without being disrespectful.
He could laugh at me. Not interested. When we’re dealing with racism, it’s different.”Vinicius emphasized in his interview, continuing in the same vein: “Rejections are part of the game. Everyone has experienced it, Messi, Ronaldo, Benzema, Neymar.”
Fans of opposing teams challenge them and that’s normal. And I like it because it motivates me to score against them. I don’t think we will live in a world without racists, but they should become a minority. If I face racism alone, the system will break me.”
In the same interview, the Brazilian international striker referred to both Real’s big target Kylian Mbappe and the promise he made to his father to one day wear the Flamengo jersey.
“Everyone wants to play with Kylian, I hope it works out one day. He is one of the best players, probably the best at the moment. He’s in a class of his own.”
Real? I could play here my whole career, but the club of my life is Flamengo. They promised my father that I would return one day. I will have to keep this promise.

Real Madrid have suffered a major blow to their central defense due to injuries and one of the things they have on their list ahead of January is the loan of 20-year-old Brazilian central defender Robert Renan from Zenit.
After the serious injuries to David Alaba and Ender Militao, Real Madrid have entered the transfer market to sign a central defender.
One of the cases that the Merengues are considering, according to AS, is 20-year-old Brazilian central defender Robert Renan, who plays for Zenit St. Petersburg. Madrid initially wants to bring him in with a loan and a purchase option for next summer.
The young footballer is exactly the right person to strengthen the Merengues as he is left-footed and can develop into a very good footballer. This particular formula would also satisfy Zenit, but there is a non-football problem.
Groups linked to the Russian state continue to face sanctions from the European Union (and the US) over the military invasion of Ukraine. Specifically, teams cannot receive an amount over 108,000 euros.
Zenit is owned by Gazprom, one of the most famous oil companies (in the world) controlled by the Russian state.

According to the German newspaper “Die Welt”, Barcelona is threatened with exclusion from the new Champions League due to violations of Financial Fair Play. However, the Catalans are not aware of the specific risk.
A few hours after the legal recognition before the Court of Justice of the European Union of the European Super League, a project that Barcelona and Real Madrid have “operated” from the beginning until today, the Blaugrana are in adventure.
A publication by German newspaper Die Welt reports that the Catalans are at risk of being banned from the new Champions League (for up to three years) due to Financial Fair Play violations. Barcelona announced gigantic profits (a whopping 304 million euros), but according to the report, UEFA will audit the finances as the income must only come from “football activities”.
Barcelona reported on its balance sheet revenue from “Barca Studios”, the project that manages the team’s audiovisual material, such as the team’s official channel (Barca TV).
Sources in Barcelona management told Mundo Deportivo that they were unaware of the scenario in question.
