[OSEN=정승우 기자] The mayor of Rio de Janeiro swears in Vinicius Jr. (23, Real Madrid) at Javier Tebas (61), president of La Liga, for his “red card”.
Brazil’s ‘Globo’ reported on the 23rd (Korea time), “Rio de Janeiro mayor Eduardo Paes (54) left insulting language towards La Liga president Javier Tebas.”
Real Madrid lost 0-1 in a clash with Valencia CF in the 35th round of La Liga in the 2022-2023 season held at Estadio de Mestaya in Valencia, Spain on the 22nd. Real suffered a painful defeat, but a bigger problem arose in this game. It’s a collective racism from Valencia fans towards main striker Vinicius Jr.
Valencia’s home fans insulted him by calling him a ‘monkey’ even before the game started. Racist comments continued during the match, and Vinicius strongly appealed to the referee and a third referee during the match, but it had no effect.
In the end, Vinicius, who shed tears during the game, said through his social media after the game, “This is not the first, not the second, not the third. Racism is normal in La Liga.” ” This league, where Ronaldo and Lionel Messi belong, now belongs only to racists. We are sorry Spaniards, but today in Brazil Spain is known as a racist country.”
On this, the President of La Liga Tebas responded. According to reports, Tebas shared Vinicius’ statement, saying, “Spain and La Liga are not racist. It is unfair to say this. La Liga reports and pursues racism in the strongest possible way within its jurisdiction. ” he retorted.
Tebas reprimanded Vinicius instead, saying, “Vinicius did not attend the two dates he requested. You should know yourself properly before criticizing and insulting La Liga.”
Eduardo Paes, the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, poured ‘reasonable comments’ into the ‘red flag’ of President Tebas.
According to the report, the mayor of Paes cursed Tebas via social media, saying, “Go to hell, whore. You’re blaming the victim now.”
On the other hand, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) said on the 24th through official channels such as its homepage, “The Match Committee has decided to remove the Mestaya Stadium, more specifically, part of the southern stand of Mario Kempes at 5 . matches in line with the incident that happened during the La Liga match between Valencia and Real Madrid. We are ordering closure.”
