“No to racism”: Brazilian striker Richarlison, the target of a banana throw on Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes during the Brazil-Tunisia friendly (5-1), punished the “bla-bla” of the decision makers fighting against the racism. He also called for more punishments for such acts.
“As long as they continue their blah-blah and they don’t punish, it will continue like this, it will happen every day and everywhere. There is no time brother! No to racism, “wrote the Tottenham player on Twitter overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday.
While Richarlison had just scored Brazil’s second goal in this 2022 World Cup preparation match, the striker was targeted by some bullets from the stands, including a banana, which landed on the lawn. Looking shocked, he returned to his place after celebrating the goal with his teammates.
The Brazilian federation (CBF) condemned the “deplorable” incident and Richarlison received the support of his teammates, such as captain Thiago Silva, and several major Brazilian clubs.
Coach Tite also deplored this overflow: “Football does not justify everything,” he said raising his voice at the press conference, before calling for “better education of young people” and “punishment”.
“It’s the past”
“Too bad, it’s hard to see such images,” Brazilian defender Thiago Silva said in the mixed zone, deploring the incident when Brazilian players posed before the match with an anti-racism banner.
“Unfortunately it seems that people’s mentality cannot be changed. I hope they realize it doesn’t work, this is the past, we need to change. Unfortunately people continue with this mentality, ”he complained.
