Valencia CF’s response has not been long in coming:
“Given the information published regarding the alleged statement given in court by the footballer Vinícius Jr. stating that the entire Mestalla stadium hurled racist insults at him in the match between Valencia CF and the real Madrid FC of last season, the Club wishes to express its surprise, rejection and indignation.
As the coach himself publicly acknowledged Carlo Ancelottiin no case can the behavior be generalized to the entire Mestalla stadium.
The Club is fully aware of the seriousness of this matter. Racism has no place in football or in society, but it cannot be fought with fallacies or unfounded lies.. This issue requires the involvement of everyone and Valencia CF understands that it must be scrupulously precise and responsible in this type of demonstrations.
The Valencian fans cannot be classified as racist and Valencia CF demands that Vinicius Jr. rectify publicly his alleged statement this morning.”
It seems that a fierce war has begun between Vinícius junior and Valencia. We will see how events develop, and what the reaction of the Brazilian footballer is to the statement from the Ché entity.
