Vinicius fights racism: "I will not stop dancing no matter where" | Israel today

Last season and after several years of being only a great potential, Vinicius Jr. exploded with impressive ability and helped Real Madrid win the Champions League and the Spanish Championship.

The young Brazilian, like many footballers from his home country, celebrates his goals in a particularly happy way, and was recently attacked for it when he was called a "monkey" by the Spanish players' agent Pedro Bravo.

Yesterday (Friday) Vinicius decided to publish a video in which he attacked Bravo and said that he will continue to conduct himself as he has done until today and fight against racism.

"As long as skin color is more important than eye clarity, there will be war.

I have this sentence tattooed on my body, and I think like that in my head as well," said Vinicius, "this is my philosophy in life.

They say that joy is an annoying thing, but the joy of a black Brazilian winning in Europe is even more annoying."

The person who is expected to be in the Brazilian team for the World Cup also wrote: "My desire to win, my smile and the sparkle in my eyes are much bigger than that, you can't even imagine.

I was a victim of racism, but it didn't just start yesterday.

For weeks, they marked my dances, which Ronaldinho, Neymar, Paceta, Griezmann, Felix and Konya also did in the past and which also belong to singers.

I accept it, I respect it, but I'm not stopping.

I come from a country where poverty is very high, people do not always have access to education and sometimes there is no food on the table.

Most of the time when I'm attacked I don't talk, I work, and work a lot.

on the field and off it.

I developed an app to help children in schools without financial help from anyone."

✊🏿🖤!

Obrigado pelo apoio!

Eu não vou parar!

Finally, he added: "I am opening a school in my name, and I will do much more for the benefit of education. I want future generations to be ready, just like me, to fight racism. I always try to be a professional and an example, but there are cowardly people who speak aggressively about people they don't know. Always The script is 'I was misunderstood', but I will repeat it for you racist, I will not stop dancing no matter where".
