Vinicius focuses the spotlight again a few hours before the derby of the King’s Cup this Thursday between the Real Madrid i l’Atlético de Madridafter a appears doll with his shirt hanging from a bridge.
The effigy was hung simulating a hanging from a bridge near the Real Madrid training center.
A banner was placed on the bridge that read “Madrid hates Real», according to photographs and videos published by local media.
“We are investigating the facts,” said police sources, without giving further details at the moment.
LaLiga has already issued a statement denouncing the case. “We strongly condemn the acts of hate against Vinícius Jr. Intolerance and violence have no place in football.” The employer adds that it will urge an investigation into the facts “in search of the conviction of those responsible, requesting the most severe criminal sanctions”.
The slogan appearing on the doll is usually used by the radical fans of Atlético de Madrid.
Another controversy
Vinícius is once again at the center of controversy after he was the target of insults in the last match between the two teams racists.
In last September’s league derby, which the whites won 2-1, some white-and-red supporters chanted racist insults at Vinícius before and during the game.
These events were brought before the court, which dismissed the case as it had not found a crime or to whom to charge it.
Vinícius “is a player that we need, that football needs, that has an extraordinary talent”, said Wednesday the merengue coach, Carlo Ancelotti, who added: “We must protect him in the physical and mental aspect”.
The Italian coach spoke like this when asked about the fouls the Brazilian player receives and his constant fights with opposing players and fans in the matches.
“I see him motivated. He doesn’t complain,” added Ancelotti.
