After several days of the confrontation between Valladolid vs. Real Madrid for the restart of LaLiga Santander, Ronaldo Nazario, president of the white and purple club, did not hesitate to express his anger after the acts of racism that Vinicius Jr. received from the local fans.
As is well known, during the ninety minutes of the game, the striker of the Brazilian team was verbally attacked by people who will be identified, the current president stated.
Regrettable, disgusting, shameful, inadmissible. Racists and xenophobes do not represent us. @vinijrAll my support, respect and affection. The @realvalladolid is available to the authorities to collaborate in the investigation so that those responsible are removed from the Club.

Real Valladolid is at the disposal of the authorities to collaborate in the investigation so that those responsible are removed from the Club”, he specified.
“We are not going to allow racist insults in our entity because our fans are not like that and these people do not represent us,” he said.
