"Jose Mourinho has basically attacked the character of Vini Jr by bringing in the type of Vini's celebration to discredit what he was doing at that moment. It was a huge mistake in terms of leadership."
"On top of that, Mourinho mentioned the name of Eusebio. He said Benfica cannot be racist because their best ever player was Eusebio. Do you know what black players had to go through in the 60s? Was he there to travel with Eusebio every away game and see what he went through?"
"There is something wrong because it happens in every stadium. Every stadium that Vinicius plays, something happens. Always."
Benfica forward Gianluca Prestianni is accused of calling Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr a "monkey" during a Champions League match after Vinicius celebrated a goal. Jose Mourinho suggested that Vinicius's celebration contributed to the clash and asserted that incidents follow Vinicius in many stadiums. Vincent Kompany, one of two Black managers in the Bundesliga, rejected Mourinho's framing as an attack on Vinicius's character and labeled it a leadership error. Kompany challenged Mourinho's invocation of Eusebio to defend Benfica and referenced the historical abuse Black players endured in the 1960s. Kompany nonetheless described Mourinho as a good person based on others' views.
