Vinicius Junior

[bobom]

Just seen a clip of Klopp being asked in a press conference whether he felt Vinicius was "doing something to provoke the crowd to be racist?" I presume it was a Spanish journalist. Klopp responds really well and gives the only possible answer with is basically a "wtf nothing justifies racism" but even the fact that question is being asked just goes to show how deeply ingrained racism is there. Really disgusting behaviour, not just a few bad apples.

Angelotti also speaking out v strongly despite journalists wanting to speak about something else.

Why was Klopp even asked? What was the press conference for? They're not playing again until Sunday. Do they ask managers in Spain about stuff that happens in the English league?

I don't know.

It's an old clip from when they played Madrid earlier in the season I think. Unless they have asked him about it again

Thanks. Thought it seemed a bit weird.

Long thread from Rabin 2 years ago, showing the linkage from French right wing through to Tebas


I’d say there is no doubt that he’s a racist right wing nutjob

 

[bobom]

Fabrizio Romano seems to think so.



Not sure how reliable he is.

Hate that "he needs to stick it out to beat the racists" narrative. It's not the victim of racism's responsibility to root racism out of Spain.

I'm sure earning millions and the status of playing for RM can allow you to leave a lot of principles at the door, but being called a monkey by the whole stadium most away days isn't something you can block out, and you shouldn't be expected to tough it out, either.

A Valencia fan after the game asked Vini to apologise I can't believe that.

Fair play. Trying to take the high ground when you're in the gutter.

Shocking really, if this was the premier league I would expect as a fan that there would be a heavy fine and a long length stadium ban. La liga won’t do anything and it’s a disgrace.

A penny for Jude Bellingham's thoughts.

 

[Gumzy97]

It's actually disgusting how they are trying to turn it on Vini, saying he shouldn't have said that Valencia are going down/relegated.

Do their fans boo their own black players?

Why not? England abuse their own fans during the euros did they not?

This is terrible, but people need to understand that these same abuse have happened too the likes of Sterling in England, by English fans. Italy, Spain and England have a football racism problem in general. Honestly, I wished all black players would boycott Italy and spain, it just makes no sense why they would go back too those countries.

 

[Blu1]

Wouldn’t mind a swap with Mahrez for him :-) he would be excellent at city

 

[failsworthblueboy]

This is awful and so sad and nobody should be subject to this kind of treatment, Jail, Ban and Educate the morons. on the transfer front, no thank you if it ain't going well he go's missing.

Possibilidade de deixar o Real Madrid já foi levada a Vinicius Jr; jogador está no limite

Vinicius Jr. foi vítima de racismo na Espanha mais uma vez neste domingo (21), durante jogo do Real Madrid contra o Valencia

www.espn.com.br

Reports coming from Brazil.

"The possibility of leaving Real Madrid has already been taken to Vinicius Jr; player is at the limit"

"Vinicius Jr's team led to the player, in recent weeks, the possibility of leaving Real Madrid due to so many racist insults..."

 

[Asa's left peg]

How the hell did he get out of Kyles pocket and get to Valencia? If he's willing to sit on the bench for 12 months to 'learn the system', I'm in.

It's horrific. I'm white, I can only imagine how it feels for someone/people to doubt your actual existence, who you are in some sub human way. My first reaction would be to go back home, somewhere safe. Also... he's a kid, ffs.
