Maju Coutinho breaks protocol and speaks out about the case involving Vini Jr.

The presenter of Fantástico, Maju Coutinhospoke about the sad case of racism involving the footballer Vinicius Jr. and the fans of the Valencia team. The athlete would have been called a monkey by most fans of the rival club to Real Madrid FC.

During the Sunday program, there was a broadcast of a report that told about the prejudiced manifestations of the stands against the Brazilian player.“Speaking specifically of what happened, tomorrow the CBF will file a protest with FIFA. These are abstruse, inadmissible attacks that do not have a response to the height. Definitive action is needed against racism in sport”, said the journalist Alex Escobar.

Back in the studio, Maju left his manifestation of support for the athlete.“People here say that it is absurd and that we are with you, Vini Jr. Racists will not pass, we know that”, emphasized the presenter, who has also suffered from prejudiced comments during her career.

What Vini Jr said

“It wasn’t the first time, nor the second nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. The competition thinks it’s normal, the Federation does too and the opponents encourage it. I’m very sorry. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano It is Messi, today belongs to the racists. A beautiful nation, which welcomed me and which I love, but which agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world. I’m sorry for the Spaniards who don’t agree, but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. And unfortunately, for everything that happens each week, I have no defense. I agree. But I am strong and I will go to the end against racists. Even if far from here”, wrote the player on his official Instagram profile.
