It is not only in Spain that Vinicius Jr attracts criticism and derogatory remarks all the time. This is also the case in his country. A certain Vanderlei Luxembourg fired shots at him.
Luxemburgo, who coached Brazil but also Real Madrid in the early 2000s, believes that Vini Jr himself attracts trouble and insults from the stands because of his own provocations. “I think he causes a lot of this persecution by doing things he shouldn’t be doing.”he declared.
“No racism against Vinicius Jr”
Luxemburgo gave the example of the second leg of last season’s Champions League semi-finals, when Josh Kimmich tried to give the ball to Vinicius for a throw-in, and the Brazilian refused to take it. “I have an image in which the opponent politely returns the ball and throws it on the ground. The opponent catches it and gives it back to him, he drops it on the ground and goes to make fun of the guy… there is (Luka) Modric in the same club, the opponent puts the ball in his hands and he throws it aside.”
He added about the monkey cries of which his compatriot may be the target: “This has nothing to do with racism. Racism in football is treated in a very different way “. A questionable opinion to say the least.
