[Sport] Gündogan talks about Vinicius before the Classic: “Maybe he likes being whistled at, I don't know…”

Lkay Gündogan, FC Barcelona midfielder, spoke to the microphones of the Catalan network Esport3 where he spoke about Vinicius, the Clásico and his role in the team. Next Saturday Real Madrid will travel to Barcelona to face the first confrontation of the season between both teams. The atmosphere is somewhat hostile between the 'Negreira case', Mikel Camps' comment about Vinicius and Florentino Pérez's subsequent refusal to attend the Classic.

The name that resonates in recent months is that of the Brazilian. The racism in the stadiums and the chants along these lines towards the striker have caused the player to speak publicly on more than one occasion about how he feels about this and his intention to try, at least, to reduce racism on the fields. , since eradicating it is practically impossible. The trigger was the insults that Vini received at Mestalla last May from some of the Valencian fans.

Given this, Gündogan has been forceful in his opinion about his professional colleague and team rival: “Someone may interpret Vinicius' actions as a provocation, but for me, honestly, they are not.” Furthermore, he wanted to add that “he already knows that if he does those things they will whistle at him. But maybe he likes to be whistled at... ”

First classic for Gündogan
“It will be a game with a lot of emotion, because it is a great game, perhaps the biggest game of their lives so far for the youngest members of the team. We will all have to be more calm and patient than lately.

 

 

Matches cannot become a back-and-forth like Shakhtar's, because the coin can fall either way. We must have more control. In the last few games we have made very simple mistakes that have cost us goals that we could have avoided. With my experience, it is also my job to make them know how to stay calm,” the midfielder reflects on the team's situation.

On the Catalan network, they also asked him about his role within the team. Gündogan is clear: “I have not come here to shine alone or be a superstar. “I came here to help the team be successful and help my teammates be better.”

Absence of Florentino Pérez
Florentino Pérez had planned to go to Montjuic to be present in the Clásico box and surround the players in the hostile atmosphere that they will presumably receive in Barcelona. However, according to El Chiringuito, the white president has decided to cancel his trip as a result of the insults leveled by Mikel Camps, the Barça manager, at Vinicius after Madrid's Champions League match in Braga. “It's not racism, he deserves a slap for being a clown and a lazy person. What do these unnecessary and meaningless bicycles represent in the center of the field,” he wrote in his publication, which a few minutes later was deleted.

Although Rafa Yuste took advantage of the match against Shakhtar to apologize publicly and assure that it would not happen again, this was not enough for the white president, who seems not to have changed his mind. In El Larguero, Joan Gaspart, who was vice president and president of FC Barcelona, assured that it is not a sufficient reason for his absence. With one day left, he remains to see if Florentino appears in the box or not.
