Bad times for Vinicius Junior. Victim of racist insults during the Madrid derby, the Real Madrid player had also been insulted a few days earlier by player agent Pedro Bravo in the famous program The Play Bar. Words that had caused a scandal on the other side of the Pyrenees as well as in Brazil.
“You have to respect the opponent. When you score your opponent’s goal, if you want to dance the samba, you’ll do it in Brazil. Here, all you have to do is respect other players and stop monkeying around.”, had declared Bravo. Since then, the show’s star presenter, Josep Pedrerol, had publicly apologized to the Brazilian. Except that the case did not stop there.
Demented cobbler
Here, ESPN Spain claimed that The beach bar had threatened Vinicius Junior. “If you release the video, we destroy you”the TV program would have said to the player, before the latter published his response to the racist attacks he suffered. A serious accusation which had the gift of annoying Pedrerol who came out of silence last night.

“We are preparing a criminal complaint for those who said that we had mafia attitudes. We will go all the way, it is good that we are going to court for this. This show sometimes gets it wrong or not, but it never threatens, we’ll show we didn’t threaten Vinicius. Everything is a lie. There are limits that should not be exceeded. The journalists who work here are the best. This show cannot be tainted by a pretender to… I prefer not to say anything. We know who you are. » It promises !
