"Vinicius has been taken out of context: he did not say that the World Cup should not be in Spain"

This week, Vinicius Junior gave an interview to ‘CNN’ in which he pointed out that there is, in his opinion, a problem of racism in Spain. His Real Madrid team-mate Dani Carvajal has already denied this on several occasions and the issue has caused a stir because the Brazilian suggested that the 2030 World Cup host, which is the Iberian country, may have to change if it is unable to alleviate this scourge. The ambassador of his homeland in the nation where he plays, however, believes that this is the result of taking him out of context.
"It is very dangerous when you try to comment on a phrase taken out of context. Vinicius didn't say that the World Cup should be somewhere else, he criticised racism, something I think we all agree on. Spain is a very nice country to live in, he loves Spain and playing for Real Madrid. I know Spain and I think the capital is living its best moment and there is no other European city that offers better living conditions," he said on Cadena SER's 'El Larguero'.
"I think that, at another point in the interview, he even acknowledged that there has been a positive evolution on the issue, that there are three people convicted of racist crimes. I think that, instead of looking at one comment, we should look at what this player suffers so many times and support the fight against racism, which is a priority for Spain and for Brazil," he said, before insisting that the backdrop of the global tournament is just an extract from his dialogue.
"That's not all he said. That's usually the problem when you take a sentence out of context. I think there is racism all over the world, what differentiates one country from another is the way it is fought. Spain has done a lot to change the way it deals with racism. It has evolved a great deal and, today, the situation is obviously much better than it was in the past", he said.
