Last season, Vinicius Junior was regularly racially attacked away from home. When he was not, he became the center of attention of fans and players, who tried to get him out of his hinges.
Asked by Radio TV Serie AReal Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke about racism in Spain: “We cannot live with this problem.
” We cannot live with this problem, we must try to eliminate it. I must say that in the first matches we played, the atmosphere around Vinicius improved and there were no insults”.
He noted that the rules regarding racism have also changed.
“I hope that doesn’t happen, but there are rules that allow the referee to stop the game. What I do with him in these cases is show him my support in times that are very sad for everyone.
Racial slurs came to a head at Mestalla last season when Vinicius called out to supporters in the crowd. It’s no surprise that Ancelotti mentions the rules as one of the things that was criticized last season was the lack of protection from officials and La Liga from abuse.
