Ricardo Gomes says that the campaign against racism after the case of Vini Jr. “it’s late”

On the morning of this Sunday, the technician ramon menezesunder-20 coach and interim Brazilian Team, called up the players who will represent Brazil in the next two friendlies of Data Fifa, in June. In addition, the CBF took advantage of the press conference to raise a campaign against racism, after the case suffered by Vinicius Junior, on the last 21st. Interim technical coordinator, Ricardo Gomes spoke about the situation and said that the action “is overdue” for a problem that plagues society in general, beyond the scope of football.

“I think this beautiful campaign is overdue. This is not a football case. This Vinicius case happened, but it is a society problem. It is a great campaign, but it is overdue. We are in 2023. Football is within society , but this happens in all sectors and in all countries, not only in Spain, in the whole world,” he said.

“The week was complex with the whole situation between Real Madrid, Vinicius Júnior and Valencia, but this is a certain delay for the whole of society. , he concluded.

After questioning whether Ramon Menezes or Ricardo Gomes even spoke with the Real Madrid player, the communication director of the highest Brazilian football entity, Ricardo Paiva, anticipated this by explaining that the CBF contacted Vini Jr. in the figure of President Ednaldo Rodrigues and that it is only after the list of players has been announced that the coach starts talking to the athletes.

“The CBF talked to Vinicius in the figure of the president [Ednaldo Rodrigues]. He also talked to his manager, this is public. All of this weekend’s campaigns started from that point. The decision to play in Barcelona also has a lot to do with that issue,” he said.

“Vinicius made himself available to the president so that he could personally dedicate himself to the maximum so that this campaign has the dimension it is having. This is only happening thanks to him, really. There was, yes, contact with him. Institutional contact , from that moment on, the list of players is public and, then, the coach starts talking to them, by phone or in person”, he added.

The CBF campaign against racism takes the phrase: “with racism there is no game”. The Brazilian team will face Guinea, on the 17th of June, in Barcelona (ESP), and Senegal, on the 20th, in Lisbon (POR). The matches, however, have not yet been set. Finally, the presentation of the summoned is scheduled for the 12th.
