I Feel Like Quitting Football Vinicius Jr Breaks Down In Tears Watch Video
Real Madrid Star, Vinicius Junior has decried racism in La Liga, saying it is making him reconsider his future in football.
Vinicius couldn’t hold back tears during a pre-match conference as he was asked about racism ahead of Brazil’s friendly with Spain.
The 23-year-old winger said he felt less like playing each time he is faced with racism, but he will still remain in Spain so the people who are throw racial slurs can continue to see his face.
The Brazilian star who called for an end to “suffering for black people” also noted that it never crossed his mind to leave Spain completely.
Vinicius said: “I just want to play football but it’s hard to move forward… I feel less and less like playing. It never crossed my mind [to leave Spain] because if I leave Spain, I give the racists exactly what they want.
“I will stay because that way the racists can continue to see my face more and more. I’m a bold player; I play for Real Madrid and we win a lot of titles and that doesn’t sit well with a lot of people.”
