“It happens with Vinicius, but also many others. They are told son of a bitch, queer, that your father or your mother dies… But it’s not a war, it’s a sport! And there, we have a great opportunity to put an end to all this”Ancelotti said on Tuesday, ahead of Real’s game once morest Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday (7:30 p.m.) for which Vinicius will be suspended following the red card received on Sunday.
“Now is a good time to take drastic action. Institutions have an opportunity now to take drastic action on this important issue. This can be a great opportunity to improve things quickly”insisted the Italian technician.
“We’ll see what happens. I appeal here to the federation and La Liga, to the intelligence of football fans, and to education, above all”he supported.
According to him, “condemn is not enough”. “We started doing it a long time ago, and nothing has changed. After the convictions, we have to act. And so far, no one has acted”.
“Carletto”, who had expressed his anger at the end of the match on Sunday evening, notably criticized the anti-racist protocol “obsolete” of the league.
“The protocol, they should have applied it two hours before kick-off (of the match in Valencia, editor’s note), when we arrived at the stadium, because that’s where the insults started. If you throw it in the 70th minute (as the referee did on Sunday, editor’s note), you made a mistake. He is obsolete, yes”.
According to Ancelotti, “Spain is not racist, I would like to correct that. But there is racism in Spain, as in other places, and it must stop”.
For his part, Vinicius, “a bit sad” according to his coach, did not take part in Tuesday morning’s collective session at Valdebebas because he received “a blow to the knee”.
“If he has two games suspended, we will give him a week off. If it’s only one game, he will start training tomorrow (Wednesday) to be in Sevilla” Saturday, slipped Carlo Ancelotti, pending the decision of the disciplinary committee of the federation.
