Madrid (EFE).- Vinicius Tobias, Castilla’s Brazilian right-back, denounced racist insults in the promotion match against Eldense on Sunday, regretting that they were also made by “a child” who called him “monkey” and showed his pain for a situation that he assured is repeated often and that “you can’t imagine when it hurts.”
“The saddest thing is when we don’t expect that from a child. A child calling me a monkey”, Vinicius Tobias wrote in a story on his Instagram account in which a minor is seen behind him screaming when he is about to take a throw-in against Eldense at the Nuevo Pepico Amat stadium.
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 is happening daily, ”he denounced.
“You can’t imagine how much it hurts. This has to end now, the limits have been crossed. Skin colors mean nothing, we are all the same. We want respect. It’s the bare minimum!” she added.
His teammate in the Madrid subsidiary, striker Iker Bravo, sent him a public message of support.
“Brother, I know these are difficult times but I wanted to tell you that you have to be strong. No one deserves to be insulted but less for RACISM!!! A lot of strength brother, both to you and to all those who have suffered it. I love you my Brazilian. Dancing a lot Vinicius Tobias and Vinicius Junior. Always Brazilian and with joy, ”he wrote.
