“Public condemnation is not enough, punishment is necessary. “We cannot continue to tolerate this problem that transcends sport, affects the whole of society and goes unpunished. “I feel disappointed and very sad to see, ashamed, how episodes of racism with my team-mate Vinicius Junior are repeated,” Casemiro said.
Manchester United midfielder and Vinicuis' former Real Madrid teammate Casemiro also heaped pressure on La Liga to make a change while offering support to his Brazilian compatriot. Racists should be banned for life from entering football stadiums worldwide, and they should face criminal charges in their country as racism is a crime.” “They are the ones who should be blamed first, before football or the system. “Sometimes we focus on the victims and tend to forget the perpetrators,” said Infantino. Finally, if the abuse still continues, the match is awarded against the team whose fans are the perpetrators. Secondly, the players will leave the pitch and the crowd are told that the match will be suspended if the abuse does not stop. This is, firstly, that the match is stopped and a stadium announcement is made. We cannot allow the reputation of a competition which is above all a symbol of unity between communities, where over 200 black players from 42 clubs are welcomed with respect and love from fans every week, to be tarnished." He also claimed that "cases of racism are an extremely rare occurrence” in Spain.įifa president Gianni Infantino also issued a statement on Monday, urging all competitions to implement what he calls “the three-step process” whenever there is racist abuse. “No matter how few they are, our efforts are relentless. “We always identify the thugs responsible and take the complaints all the way to the relevant bodies who have power to punish them,” he said. Tebas said that there have been nine instances of racist insults, of which eight were against Vinicius Jr. “Neither Spain nor La Liga is racist,” he said, claiming that his organisation goes “after racism in the strongest possible way within our remit”. I want actions and punishments” - then prompted another posting from Tebas on Monday afternoon. Vinicius Jr’s reply - “I'm not your friend to talk about racism. “Do not let yourself be manipulated and make sure you fully understand each other's competencies and the work we have been doing together,” said Tebas. We are with you and we support you" but Tebas said that Vinicius Jr had failed to attend two “agreed dates” to discuss the issue. He wrote in a post on Instagram, "You are not alone. Vinicius has hit out against La Liga in the days since the incident, and garnered worldwide support for his fight against racism, after suffering similar abuse on multiple occasions this season.įrench striker Kylian Mbappe has lead the messages of support for Vinicus. "Such a decision was determined by the omission of the VAR room of the entire play, without showing the aggression carried out seconds before," said the Competition Committee in a statement. However the footage omitted Duro grabbing Vinicius around the neck with his arm moments before the 22-year-old Brazilian hit out. Later in the game he was sent off for hitting Duro in a brawl, after the referee was shown footage on VAR.
