The Brazilian winger wanted to expand his feelings in a new publication. “It’s sad to see players going through this kind of prejudice. It was not the first time nor the second time that this happened to me. It’s happening every day,” he denounced.

“Brother, I know these are difficult times but I wanted to tell you that you have to be strong. Nobody deserves to be insulted, but even less because of RACISM!!! A lot of strength brother, both to you and to all those who have suffered. I love you my Brazilian. Dancing a lot Vinicius Tobias and Vinicius Junior. Always Brazilian and with joy“, wrote.
