It's clear he's been carrying a lot. It's hard to keep your composure in those moments when you have so many raw emotions behind it. All the best to him.

bro i'm moroccan i literally saw black moroccan kids insulting him when he came to marrakech playing football with kids calling him '3ezzi' wich is moroccan way of saying 'N' word it makes no sense
It's disgraceful that European soccer clubs and leagues don't really care to address the racism that happens at their events. Spain , Italy, etc are a disgrace.
Stay strong bro. Very primitive reaction from the so called fans. Let's kick racism out of football.

We love you Vini.. From India.. In 2017, when the U-17 World Cup was here, I hoped to see you.. But you were not released by your club and didn't participate. Finally, in 2022, I saw you in the flesh playing for Brazil against Serbia in the Fifa WC.. A memory to cherish.. Stay strong, the majority are with you.. Just ignore the haters.. Your best is yet to come.. Both for club and country..
Vinicius is The Best

As a City fan, I support you and your battle. It'll be alright in the end. Keep fighting and keep doing what you love 💙

It’s not as simple as that…….
The abuse he receives is disgusting. An absolutely world-class role model and player, wearing his heart on his sleeve. This is the result of racism, and how it can effect even the likes of an international super star. Those involved should be ashamed.

Man's a legend
Broo footballers these days are as soft as they have ever been. Not only on the picth but mentality as well. Pele used to be yelled at called so many worst things. You lnow what pele would do keep playing. Keep making magical momnets and making his opponents pay on the fields. There truly is levels to this sport.
Sometimes I see him as petulant but this interview revealed that he is going through a lot. May you be healed, Vini. May the racists be shamed and banned from football grounds.
Stay goateed the real Goat is you ❤️🩹❤️
People of America stand with you brother! Forget the cavecrawlers, continue to dominate!
Don’t cry vinicius World people your back support you first you play
He is so hurt inside. Racism really hurts. And as much Europe has changed and moved forward and many people are lovely, but it is still full of racism from Germany to France to Spain to England.

Despite facing traumatic events on a daily basis, he continues to fight. Massive respect to this player. They hate because they are afraid.

Das ist kein Rassismus, er ist einfach ein schlechter Mensch
We should not be dealing with racism in 2024 and here we are still dealing with racism. Sometimes I wonder the same people who are contributing to racism still want to go to Heaven WOW.
In all the major tournaments that I've watched on TV, they always do their anti-racism remarks later in the tournament. Is it all for show? If the Federations really cared about dismantling racism, play needs to be suspended and all these a-holes need to be ejected from the stadium and then arrested (to make a point AND to not wait around to attack people afterwards).
Nah you don’t want to play football
