Vinicius returns to Mestalla encouraged by the courage of Colin Kaepernick. The Brazilian faces his tense return to Valencia with the memory of his recent talk with the former NFL player.

The conversation with Kaepernick was part of a kind of Vinicius curriculum on racism. His team is very aware that they need to find ways for the Brazilian to become more abstracted from the public. He is clear that he wants to be an important voice in the fight against discrimination, but both he and his people are aware that he has not had time to learn about other experiences of suffering.
