00:00I would like to ask you about what happened in Portugal this week in the Benfica-Real Madrid match on
00:07the pitch and on the stands what happened to Vinicius.
00:11You have said here several times that football is an expression of society, it's not an isolated bubble.
00:17What are your thoughts when you saw what happened?
00:20I said the week before, not for who you were born, not for the colour of the skin, make us
00:26better and worse.
00:28It's a lot of work to do. It's in the society, it's not in football.
00:35Racism is everywhere. You pretend that racism is just for the colour of the skin, it's how you behave, it's
00:42racism.
00:43It's how you pretend that you are better than the other one just for many reasons.
00:48You know?
00:53Do you think football has tools in place to try to...?
01:00Schools pay a lot of the teachers. That is the person I must be paying in the schools, not in
01:07the football.
01:09The teachers and the doctors have to be the best, the most important people in the society, for sure, by
01:14far. Not the managers.
