Description
Locals of Sao Goncalo, a poor city outside Rio de Janeiro, are appalled by the racist abuse their idol Vinicius Junior received in Spain. "I think this is absurd, a total lack of maturity from the fans of Valencia," says Pierry Amaro Ricardo, an 18-year-old Brazilian footballer at the Flamengo youth academy, where Vinicius got his professional start before signing with Real Madrid. Phone vendor Victor Gabriel Ferreira, who grew up in Vinicius's neighbourhood, says "Brazil and the world can't stand to see a black man from the favela rise to the top." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
