‘They Do It Because Vinicius Is Dangerous’: Ancelotti On Racism Against Brazil Forward
Following Real Madrid: Following Real Madrid’s win over Real Sociedad, it was once again Vinicius Jr. who was in the headlines. The forward shushed the Sociedad faithful after scoring a goal as he had been at the receiving end of jeers throughout the night.
In recent years the Brazilian has been the subject of racial attacks on and off the pitch. Manager Carlo Ancelotti defended his star forward, claiming the only reason fans target him is because he is ‘dangerous on a sporting level.’
“Ever since I arrived, the same things have happened with Vinicius and it's something that obviously can't be tolerated. I understand the booing of an opponent, but whistles and insults during warm-ups, it's not normal. Who can stand that? They shouldn't pay much attention to Vinicius and pay more attention to what happens in the stadiums. They do it because Vinicius is a danger on a sporting level and they try to distract him from the game,” said Ancelotti in the pre-match conference.
