Messages of support for Vinicius Junior, the target of racist insults this weekend in La Liga, are pouring in from everywhere. Last to react, the former Senegalese striker, Demba Ba, who made an important request to the Real Madrid midfielder.

Vinicius Junior was visibly fed up. Targeted by racist insults on Sunday during Valencia’s victory over Real Madrid (1-0), the midfielder, who was sent off in the last minutes of the match, vented his anger on social networks. In a long post on Twitter, the Brazilian attacked Valencia and La Liga fans, criticizing their lack of respect for him.

“It wasn’t the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. The League thinks it’s normal, the Federation too and the opponents encourage it. I am really sorry. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi now 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 in the world“, in particular plagued Vinicius on the social network.

” I’m sorry for the Spaniards who disagree, but today in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. And unfortunately, for everything that happens every week, I have no defense. I agree. But I am strong and I will go all the way against the racists. Even if I have to go far from here”he added.

An exit supported by a certain Demba Ba who supported the Auriverde star. On his social accounts, the former Chelsea and Senegal striker called on players to take responsibility in the event of such an attack. “If players and staff want to stop a football game, no referee on earth can stop it. Just do it. Courage Vinicius Junior. Take responsibility young brother”notably posted the former Chelsea on Twitter.
