At dawn on Wednesday, the Brazilian soccer team will start an international friendly in Spain. In a pre-match press conference, the team's Samba wing forward, Yunis Oszulia, became emotional and burst into tears as he talked about the racial discrimination he encountered from La Liga fans. In the audience, supporters of the Real Madrid star applauded.
In recent years, Vinzios Zulia has been improving his skills, but he has also become a target for hostile fans because of his outstanding performances. He has been subjected to racial insults on more than one occasion. The 23-year-old Brazilian international lamented: "I was young when I left Brazil and I didn't know much about anything. The prolonged racism made me feel more and more bitter and I even started to doubt whether I should continue with the sport. I just want to focus on the game and contribute to the team and my family."
I couldn't help but shout out loud at the end of "Xiao Yun's" speech, and the scene got slightly out of control as people around me came forward to comfort him. The audience also applauded and cheered for this brave player. I sincerely hope that in tonight's match between Spain and Brazil, we will again witness a firm resistance to racial discrimination.
