Real Madrid lost 1-0 to Mallorca on Sunday. After the match, there was discussion not only about another defeat of Carlo Ancelotti’s team and its eight-point loss to FC Barcelona, but also about the terrible behavior of Vinicius Jr.
The Brazilian provoked rivals several times, and the Spanish media particularly criticized him for two behaviors. Journalists of the football program “El Chiringuito” have established that the 20-times Brazil international has insulted one of his rivals by referring to his earnings.
“When you’re done playing football, you’ll have to look for another job because you’ll never do as much as I do,” said Vinicius Jr. And when he left the pitch after the match, he ostentatiously kissed the Real Madrid crest, which the Spanish media perceived as a “nasty gesture”, showing the superiority of the Spanish champions over Mallorca.
“Vinicius Jr is the victim of something I don’t understand”
Later, however, it turned out that the Brazilian was again a victim of racism. Again, because a similar incident also occurred during the first meeting between these teams. Vinicius Jr was to be offended by one of the hosts’ fans.
“Mallorca is always against any kind of racist slur or manifestation and is working with La Liga to identify the person responsible for Sunday’s racist chants in order to take appropriate legal action,” the club said in a statement.
Ancelotti sided with Vinicius Jr. – What is the biggest problem? Vinicius Jr. His colleagues? Is the problem that the player wanted to defend himself? NO. While it often looks like the problem is Vinicius Jr, the real problem is what is going on around him,” Ancelotti said.
Racism is a problem in Spanish football. I am part of it and I see that it is a problem that we need to solve. Especially since Vinicius Jr is being made the culprit when he’s actually the victim of something I don’t understand.”
Currently, Real Madrid are in Morocco, where they are preparing to start in the Club World Cup. Ancelotti’s team will play Al-Ahly in the semi-finals on Wednesday.
