Atletico Madrid fans and Vinicius Jr.
Guess the list of clubs having a 100% winning record in the top five leagues of Europe, Real Madrid, end of the list. The Spanish giants continue their march toward the title as they beat arch-rivals Atletico Madrid 2-1. The Los Blancos are on a roll in the league games and kneel before none.
Unfortunately, there are several videos coming out where it is quite audible that Atletico Madrid fans are raising slurs about Vinicius Jr, calling him a monkey, which is the peak of hatred for one player and unprofessional behavior from outside the stadium as well. Rivals don’t mean enemies.
A racist statement like, “You are a monkey”, the Brazilian took it with grace by not reacting or commenting on the issue of racism by the opponent fans. Instead celebrated Rodri’s stupendous goal making it the opener. As they move forward in their triumph in the La Liga this season.
The hate from Atletico Madrid & The rise of Vinicius Junior
After the fatal fall of Real Madrid in the standards of playing and winning trophies both in the league and elsewhere as well, Vinicius was the one signing that came to their rescue giving them the hope to where they stand right now. The Brazilian wasn’t supported even by his own fans. But, the player chose to rise above hate.
The opening season for the player was horrible as the conversion rate of goals and showboating failures surrounded the player and was material to laugh about in the beginning. Overthrowing that criticism with sheer will, dedication and performance that delivered.
Racist slogans, throwing objects, and each negative thing has been said and done for the player but only he became the most monumental player both as a scorer and a provider in the Los Blancos’ league win and their victory in the Champions League as well.
