Cruzeiro x Cuiaba: Daverson comes out in defense of Vinicius Jr, argues with opposing fans and applauds him | cuiaba

On his way to the break, player No. 16 Dorado supported the Brazilian striker from Real Madrid and condemned acts of discrimination by the Valencia fans, during last Sunday’s confrontation of the Spanish championship.

– I wanted to say something that has nothing to do with today’s game. Vini Jr has had a very difficult time in Spain. Lots of power over him, may God be pleased with him. He’s having a great tournament with Real Madrid. He is a man for whom I have much affection. Racism is a very ugly thing, and it shouldn’t exist. Lots of power for Vinicius Jr.

Before the ball was rolled, Deverson raised his fist in a gesture of solidarity with the Brazil star.

The striker scored Dorado’s goal against Minas Gerais in the 36th minute of the first. With a header, he completed Fernando Sobral’s cross and scored for the first time in Brazil.
