New racist insults were reportedly heard against Vinicius during a trip to Valencia. Ancelotti heard the stadium shouting "mono", or monkey in Spanish, but a journalist told him at a press conference that spectators were shouting "tonto", which means "fool" in Spanish.

"Why do you think the referee interrupted the match? Because the audience was shouting foolish at Vinicious? No. The referee interrupts the match because he opened the protocol of racism," said the Italian coach.
