Brazil coach Tite has urged Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior to continue expressing himself in the face of racist abuse directed at him in recent weeks.
"I took some time to discuss it publicly, although I'm not one of those people who do things like that. Brazil always respects its opponents. Right now, Vinicius represents Brazil, and not only him, but also all our players.
To all these players, Vina and others, we told them to keep showing their talent and artistry to those of us who love football. Dance, shine and keep on being you. Always. That's the point - enjoy, catch the wave and celebrate," Mundo Deportivo quoted the Brazilian coach as saying.
We will remind that on the air of one of the TV shows, the president of the Spanish Association of Sports Agents, Pedro Bravo, compared Vinicius to a monkey.
