Two first litmus tests for Dorival Juniorwho is going to make his debut as Brazil coach against England (Saturday the 23rd) and Spain (Tuesday 26) before contesting the America Cup in June. While waiting for the first friendly to start, the coach granted an exclusive interview to The Guardian to address the problem of racism Vinicius during his matches in LaLiga before the match against the Spanish team in the Santiago Bernabeuhow he will try to recover the best version of the Canarinha and what was experienced in Brazil’s last game in Europe.
Vinicius: “Is it going to be exciting to play with Brazil at my home, at the Bernabéu?
“Sadly it is happening all over the world. Ignorance still persists. The authorities must take more severe measures. This situation with Vinícius, in particular, has already crossed the line. The Spanish people in general are a very kind, respectful and above all peaceful people and their image should not be tarnished by a handful of malicious people. It should be possible to locate people (who sing) if the police try to do so. It’s like in our country, where many people suffer every day. But they are silenced by the inefficiency of the authorities.”Dorival started to analyze the situation that the Brazilian footballer is experiencing in some fields in Spain.
“We will need to analyze and balance all the information at such times, but we must be prepared to take drastic measures if it happens again. Vinícius is still a child. He is still finishing his education and this minority cannot treat him like this”commented on Canarinha’s last match in Europe, where a friend of Vinicius reported racist insults at the entrance to the RCDE Stadium: “Hands up, this is the gun I have for you”showing him a banana as reported Felipe Silveiraa childhood friend of Vinicius and his current advisor.
Brazil’s bad moment
Richarlison and the fight against his demons: “the psychologist saved my life”
“It is much more respected outside our country than here. People have no idea how much Brazilian football is talked about outside of our country. And I didn’t realize that just getting this job now. No, I have been doing it since 2012. Every year I visited one club or another. I had the opportunity to talk with players, managers and technicians abroad who always showed great respect and admiration for Brazilian football. This doesn’t happen at home…“, he concluded.
