Vinicius Jr, target of all attacks

It was to be a football celebration, under the banner “One skin”, imagined by the Spanish federation, with the support of the government. On March 26, Spain hosted Brazil at Santiago-Bernabéu and if the spectacle was there on the field (3-3), Vinicius Jr took the opportunity to reiterate before the match his fed up -bol of racism, which he has suffered since his arrival in La Liga in 2018. “I want to play less and less and I feel more and more sad,” said the Real Madrid striker before burst into tears in front of an audience full of journalists.

Calibrated staging for Netflix – which is preparing a documentary on him and whose cameras were present that day at a press conference – for some, an unwelcome complaint for others, while the Brazilian would have provoked, on the one hand, the bench after Lucas Paqueta’s equalizer and yet another scuffle, on the other hand, the next day. Yet always, this same basic problem: the insults and racist behavior to which he is regularly subjected in Spanish stadiums, without the public authorities or those of football really cracking down.
