Real Madrid Confidencial Tebas' Surprising Change of Mind Regarding Vinícius after LaLiga's Complaint
LaLiga's president defends Vini Jr. hours after reporting him for his gesture at the Vallecas Stadium
Javier Tebas' latest words have surprised in Real Madrid circles. The LaLiga president was asked about Vinícius Jr.'s controversial gesture at the Vallecas Stadium and his words have drawn attention.
After the final whistle, as the Real Madrid players retreated to the tunnel to the changing rooms, Vinícius made a gesture toward the home fans. "To second," the Brazilian told those present. The forward also made the gesture of the number two (Second Division) with the fingers of his hand.
A gesture that has gone around the world
Within minutes, Vini Jr.'s gesture went viral on social media, as Rayo Vallecano fans shared the images. In addition, anti-Madrid fans have used the videos to attack Vinícius once again.
However, the Rayo Vallecano fans, those who complain about the provocations of the Brazilian, had been provoking beforehand. "Vinícius, beach ball" was heard in the Vallecas Stadium since Vinícius Jr. stepped onto the field in the second half.
The same gesture was made twenty-four hours later in Montjuic, when the Barça fans sang "a segunda" to CD Leganés. It is more than proven that when it is Vini Jr. who carries out this type of behavior, everything transcends much more.
Javier Tebas' words about Vini Jr.
"He just got heated and nothing more," explained the president of LaLiga. "The chants were not racist, they were shouts of 'idiot, stupid' and a reaction. Vinícius's departure, which I personally think may have been a provocation with those insults and the player, like all players, got heated and nothing more," continued Javier Tebas.
"I don't think the shouting was racist or what Vinícius did was exaggerated. It certainly wasn't right, and what happened in the stands wasn't right either," said the president of LaLiga.
The statements have come as quite a surprise to Real Madrid, as Javier Tebas has completely changed his line. The president of LaLiga has gone from denouncing the player's behavior to publicly defending him.
On the other hand, Martín Presa, president of Rayo Vallecano, played down the gesture of Vinícius. The top executive said in ' El Chiringuito ' that it is a gesture that has to stay on the field and not go any further.
