Vini Jr demands images of alleged racist attack on a friend – 06/17/2023 – Sport

Vinicius Junior demanded the disclosure of the images from the security cameras of the RCDE stadium, on the outskirts of Barcelona, ​​where his friend and advisor, Felipe Silva, was allegedly the victim of racism this Saturday (17), before the friendly between Brazil and Guinea.

“While I was playing with the already historic black shirt and getting emotional, my friend was humiliated and mocked at the entrance to the stadium”, said the athlete in a post on Twitter.

“To make everything public, I ask those responsible: where are the images from the security cameras?”, he completed.

Earlier, Felipe denounced a stadium security guard who, according to him, pointed a banana at him and told him “that’s the pine cone”.

The background of the game was exactly the fight against racism. The Brazilian players played in black during the first half – it was the first time that the team wore the color in an official match – there was a protest, with athletes from both teams sitting on the ground before the start of the match and there were sentences condemning racism throughout the stadium.

Racist attacks on Vinicius Junior in Spain throughout the season were the reason for demonstrations before, during and after the game. On the pitch, Brazil thrashed 4-1, with goals from Joelinton, Rodrygo, Militão and Vinicius Junior; Guirassy cashed for the Africans.

Brazil returns to the field on Tuesday (20), at 4 pm, in a friendly against Senegal, in Lisbon, again with an interim coach on the edge of the field.

The CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) even takes advantage of the trip to Europe to try to advance in negotiations with the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, currently coach of Real Madrid.
