A state of support emerged from many footballers for the Brazilian Real Madrid striker, Vinicius Junior, after the last statements of Koke, the Atletico Madrid player, before the derby meeting next Sunday in La Liga.
“There will be a problem if Vinicius dances,” Koki said hours ago.
The Brazilian Neymar, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, came out to support his compatriot, Vinicius, and posted a tweet on his personal account on Twitter, “Dance for me, dance.”
Renier Jesus also showed his support for Vinicius, writing, “We are with you, Vinnie, and the racist’s place should be in prison.”
Jesus’ words came in response to Pedro Bravo, president of the Spanish Federation of Players’ Agents, who said that Vinicius should stop playing the role of a monkey, and then retracted this statement.
And the Spanish newspaper Marca reported, “Real Madrid and the environment surrounding Vinicius care about what happens around the player before the derby, although the slogan of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti: “Dedicate yourself only to playing.”
