Crossing of accusations between Real Madrid, the Federation and the League for the insults to Vinícius

What should have been an issue of obvious consensus between the parties, the fight against racism, ended this afternoon with a chapter of cross accusations between the parties that added to the disqualifications via social networks between Vinícius and Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, on Sunday night, hours after the game ended.

Luis Rubiales, the president of the Federation, in his appearance this Monday morning at the Soccer City of Las Roas, asked the president of the Brazilian Confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues "to please ignore the irresponsible behavior of the president of the LFP that enters social networks in an entanglement with a footballer who a few hours before has received serious racist insults. Managers are not here to get involved in social networks, we are here to solve problems. It was not the time."

Real Madrid issued a second statement late in the afternoon to criticize Luis Rubiales, and incidentally the referees and the use of VAR, something that has been a constant in their official media throughout the season: " We are surprised by the statements of Luis Rubiales because, being the head of Spanish football and the refereeing establishment, he has allowed that forceful action has not been taken, according to FIFA protocols, to avoid the situation that has come to be. The image of our football is seriously damaged and deteriorated in the eyes of the whole world”.

And the white club adds: “With his passivity, he has contributed to the helplessness and defenselessness of Vinícius. The referees, far from acting firmly and applying the regulatory protocols, have chosen in most cases to inhibit themselves and avoid making the decisions that corresponded to them. Just yesterday, the referee and those responsible for the VAR evaded their responsibilities and made unfair decisions based on incomplete images, which were not seen in their entirety, which were biased and which led to the direct expulsion of our player Vinicius Júnior. Unfortunately, what happened yesterday and the management that was carried out by the referees and the VAR, we do not perceive as something isolated, but as something that has been repeated in many of our matches, ”they say.
