Shameful words from a former world-class footballer.
During his active career, Jose Luis Chilavert (58) was considered one of the best goalkeepers on the planet. The Paraguayan was named World Goalkeeper of the Year in 1995, 1997 and 1998. Only Gianluigi Buffon (46), Iker Casillas (42) and Manuel Neuer (37) were able to win the prize more often.

After his career ended, the ex-professional went into politics and only wanted to be elected president of his home country last year. In the election, his right-wing conservative party “Partido de la Juventud” only achieved 0.8 percent.
Chilavert repeatedly attracts attention with homophobic and transphobic statements. During the election campaign he said: “As a father, I would not accept if my son wanted to go to school in women’s clothing.”

Now he is shocking with another scandalous statement. On “X” (formerly Twitter) Chilavert insults Brazilian superstar Vinicius (23).
The Real Madrid winger spoke about racist hostility at the press conference on Monday before the international match against Spain (Tuesday, 9.30 p.m.).

Vinicius: “I just want to play football. I’m losing more and more interest in playing.”
The attacker then burst into tears. For Chilavert it was probably a sign of weakness. And apparently reason enough to insult Vinicius with a homophobic insult.
He posted: “Bread and circus, he is the first to insult and attack his opponents. Don’t be a faggot, football is for men.”

Words that you can only shake your head at. Vinicius was so seriously insulted in a 1-0 away defeat in Valencia in May last year that three suspects were arrested two days after the incident.
Real Madrid is also filing a hate crime report.
