Vinicius Jr's Emotional Stand Against Racism

Moments of emotion for Vinicius Jr during the press conference on the eve of the friendly match between Brazil and Spain. The Seleção and Real Madrid forward, recently victim of racist insults by some Atletico Madrid fans, broke down in tears on the topic of racism, showing all his pain in front of the microphones. Vinicius Jr's Statements "I'm sorry. I just want to play football, give everything for my club and my family, and I never want to see people of color suffer," declared the Brazilian national team forward, in tears, earning applause from all the journalists present in the conference room. Vinicius got emotional during the Brazil's press conference after three questions about racism. "I'm sorry. I just want to play football, do everything for my club and my family, never see black people suffering." "I feel I have to fight for all the black people in the world who have no voice and who suffer racism on their own skin every day. And they can't defend themselves. I know what it means, I've lived it: my father looked for work, but if there was a competition with a white person for a job, the job was given to the white person." Regarding the racist chants he received in La Liga recently, he replied: "I never thought about leaving Spain, because it would mean giving the racists what they want. I will not leave the best club in the world (Real Madrid). I will stand firm and strong because the president and the company support me," Vinicius continued in the conference.
