Dani Carvajal, a star player for Real Madrid, recently addressed his teammate Vinicius Junior's statements about racism in Spain. Vinicius had suggested that FIFA should consider removing Spain as a host for the 2030 World Cup due to ongoing issues with racism in the country.
Carvajal, who has personally experienced racist abuse from fans, acknowledged that there is a problem with racism in Spain, but he also defended his country. He emphasized that his team and coach have taken a strong stance against racism in stadiums and that they fully support Vinicius.
However, Carvajal disagreed with Vinicius' suggestion that Spain should be removed as a host for the World Cup. He pointed out that Spain is a culturally diverse country and that he himself grew up surrounded by people from different backgrounds. He is proud to say that Spain is not a racist country.
The Spanish manager, Luis de la Fuente, also echoed Carvajal's sentiments. He stated that while there may be undesirable individuals, Spain is not a racist country and is actually a shining example of coexistence, respect, and integration. He also expressed excitement for the upcoming World Cup, which will be co-hosted by Spain, Morocco, and Portugal.
Vinicius, who has been the target of racist abuse on multiple occasions, had expressed concerns about his safety and comfort in playing in a country where racism still exists. He believes that if things do not improve by 2030, the World Cup should be moved to a different location. However, his teammates and manager have assured him that they stand by him and are working towards creating a more inclusive and respectful environment in Spanish stadiums.
Carvajal also mentioned that LaLiga, the top professional football league in Spain, is taking steps to address racism and prevent those who engage in it from attending sporting events. He believes that while there may be a small group of people who are racist, it does not reflect the views of the entire country.
In conclusion, while there is still progress to be made, both Carvajal and de la Fuente firmly believe that Spain is not a racist country. They are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in their country and are looking forward to hosting the World Cup with their neighboring countries in 2030.
