Real Madrid: What now for Vinicius Junior after Jose Mourinho signed the deal?

Mourinho was seen speaking with Vinicius after he left the field after the clash with Pristiani.

But Mourinho’s comments after the match were the most shocking.

While publicly supporting Pristiani, Mourinho suggested that Vinicius had raised tensions by celebrating in front of the home fans.

“You score a goal from another world, why are you celebrating like this?” Mourinho said.

“The same thing always happens in a lot of stadiums. In how many states has this happened? In how many stadiums? How many? How many?”

“He’s an out-of-this-world player, and I love him. Vinicius tells me one thing and Pristiani tells me another. I want to be balanced.”

These statements sparked widespread criticism, with many accusing Mourinho of diverting attention away from allegations of racism and placing responsibility on the victim instead.

As well as expressing his belief that Vinicius was disrespectful in his goal celebration, he pointed to the club’s legendary striker Eusebio as evidence that Benfica is not a racist club.

Asked if he felt Vinicius was inciting the fans, Mourinho said: “Yes, I think so.

“This has to be the crazy moment of the game, an amazing goal, unfortunately [he was] I’m not just happy to score this amazing goal. “When you score a goal like that, you celebrate in a respectful way.”

He added: “When he was arguing about racism, I told him about the biggest person in the history of this club [Eusebio] It was black.

“This club is, at the end of the day, racist [Vinicius and Prestianni] He told me different things. But I don’t believe in one or the other. “I want to be independent.”
