"In general, you can never do enough, you can always do more to make sure this [racism in football] never happens again, Slot told reporters ahead of Liverpool's Premier League visit to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest on Sunday. We have to try as a football community to do more than society does. That's maybe not so difficult, by the way. Protocol was followed in the game; that's the first step, he said on Thursday."
"Real's 1-0 Champions League playoff first-leg win at Benfica on Tuesday was overshadowed by Vinicius accusing Prestianni of directing a racist slur at him, a charge denied by the Portuguese club, the player and their manager, Jose Mourinho. European football's governing body, UEFA, said it was reviewing the incident, which led to the game being halted for 11 minutes under FIFA's antiracism protocol."
Arne Slot urges stronger measures to prevent racism in football following allegations that Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni directed a racist slur at Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior during a Champions League playoff. UEFA is reviewing the incident that prompted an 11-minute halt under FIFA's antiracism protocol. Benfica, Prestianni and manager Jose Mourinho deny the charge. Slot calls for the football community to do more than society for prevention, stresses that protocol adherence and immediate player and referee action are essential. Slot also noted Liverpool's upcoming match at Nottingham Forest and commented on Forest's new manager and player availability.
