Wide player Vinícius' name was prominently featured in the headlines around Europe on Monday, not only in Spain, but throughout a news conference held before Brazil's friendly match against La Roja, Vinícius was questioned on the prejudice he had encountered throughout his time in La Liga. Vinícius responded, and it was understandable that his feelings overcame him. He broke down in tears and said, "I've been watching this for a long time, and every time I feel sadder, I have less and less will to play."
And, as previously said, two well-known teams recently joined these supporters. First up was Cádiz, Real Madrid's La Liga opponents, who sent a statement on the team's social media channels. Since then, Serie A powerhouse AC Milan has also promoted a similar message by reposting a number of images of Vinícius from Brazil's most recent news conference along with a statement.
