Vinicius Junior’s statements on CNN on Spain’s relationship with racism and the awarding of the 2030 World Cup have caused a lot of reaction in recent weeks. Many have reacted to these comments, such as his Real Madrid teammate Dani Carvajal or the mayor of Madrid. This Wednesday, it was Javier Tebas’ turn to discuss the controversy surrounding the Brazilian. In an interview with EFE, the president of LaLiga gave his feelings on this situation.
” I think that if you look closely, you will see that his statements are not entirely consistent with what he himself says in the interview. At the same time as he was saying that maybe we shouldn’t consider hosting the World Cup, he was also saying that Spain was not a racist country. Let’s take away what is inconsistent and stick with what is consistent: Spain is not a racist country, and I agree with Vinicius on that. ” said the Spanish leader.
