Brazilian footballer breaks down in tears as he is repeatedly questioned about racial discrimination. During a press conference ahead of the match against Spain, Vinicius Junior did not receive any questions related to his professional career. Instead, reporters only addressed how the player felt about racial discrimination.
Faced with a barrage of questions, the 2000-born star burst into tears: “I’m sorry, I just want to play football. My desire is to give my best to Real Madrid and take care of my family.” “I will not leave Spain, as that is what those who discriminate want. Furthermore, Real Madrid is the best club in the world, and I will not leave for any reason. Thanks to the support from the team and President Florentino Perez, I have the strength to fight against racial discrimination,” Vinicius added.
Vinicius has repeatedly become a victim of racial discrimination in La Liga. The player once broke down on the field when Valencia fans insulted him during a match at the Mestalla last season.
Just a few weeks ago, Vinicius was involved in a peculiar incident. In a post on the fanpage, Real Madrid’s media team inadvertently juxtaposed the player’s image with the evolved monkey logo of the Vinic Vici music group. Vinicius was furious upon seeing the picture and stubbornly demanded to withdraw from the match.
Real’s director had to intervene to reassure the 24-year-old player, while promising to discipline the person responsible for the unbelievable mistake.
At 3:30 a.m. tomorrow (March 27), the Brazilian national team will have a friendly match with Spain. Prior to this, “Selecao” excellently defeated the England team 1-0 right at Wembley, despite not having the best lineup.
