“I’ve never had any problems” – Atletico Madrid star issues response to Vinicius Junior on racism row
In recent weeks, the topic of racism in Spanish football has been heavily discussed, following a recent interview in which Vinicius Junior stated that the 2030 World Cup should be taken away from Spain if the problem does not improve in the coming years.
Many people have had their say on the situation, and also issued a direct response to Vinicius.
The latest player to speak on the subject has been Atletico Madrid’s Samuel Lino, who was asked about it during an interview on RNE’s Tablero Deportivo (via MD).
“Each player is managed in a different way by the club, the agents, the family… Saying that is something important, but I have nothing to do with those controversies. He does what he wants with his life and his work and I hope everything goes well.
Personally, I’ve never had any trouble (with racism in Spain).” Lino was also asked about whether he has any link with Vinicius, being a Brazilian player currently playing in Madrid.
“I’m not much of a talk person with Vini, I don’t have a friendship with him. I admire his game and the player he is, I don’t have much more to talk about.”
