Sevilla coach sees ‘Caso Vini Jr’ as “fashion” and detonates

O Real Madrid wont have vini jr against sevillein a game that will mark the last commitment of the merengue team as a visitor in the 2022/23 season of La Liga. The player has problems with his left knee and will complete his second consecutive game without taking the field. However, the topic of racism is still under debate in Spain, precisely because of the attacks that the Brazilian suffered in Mestalla, on Sunday, 21, in the 1-0 defeat against Valence.

The subject is one of the most talked about in Spanish territory, but that doesn’t seem to please some of the professionals who work with the sport in the country. This is the case of José Luis Mendilibar, who before the confrontation between Sevilla and Real Madrid was irritated by a sequence of four questions related to racism. The Sevillian coach declared that debating racism has become “fashionable”.

Mendilibar’s irritation came after the first questions in his press conference, this Friday, the 26th, were only in relation to the racism suffered by Vini Jr. In the first question, he replied to journalists that “he only thinks about sports”. Furthermore, asked if he would send a message to fans to avoid racist chants, he responded as follows:

Let it be seen as just another game. No need to freak out. Real Madrid is coming, nobody else”he stated.

After this speech, he was also asked about Vini Jr and the repercussion of the theme in Spain, precisely because of the attacker defending the Real Madrid shirt. Mendilibar was short and only pointed out that the subject “is what it is”. Journalists did not give up questioning him and saw the coach get irritated in the fourth question in relation to racism and call the debate “fashionable”.

“Look, here we are against everything bad that can happen. It’s being a fad, period. I was never in favor of any of that. And I tell you… Let’s talk about football, enough has been said about… And we didn’t talk about anything. With all these questions, and what I’m answering, we’re not helping at all. I know why you came“, he completed.

While Mendilibar is angry, Real Madrid prefers to hold Vini Jr because of injury!

O Real Madrid wont have vini jr in the next round of La Liga. The team will take to the field this Saturday, the 27th, at 2 pm (Brasília time), against seville, at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. The confrontation will mark the last commitment of the Carlo Ancelotti away from home in the 2022/23 season and the expectation was that the Brazilian would play. However, the main striker of the Spanish team will not be on the field in the 37th round of the Spanish Championship.
