Brazil Football Federation release statement after Richarlison suffered racial abuse against Tunisia THFC
Manchester United midfielder Fred can then be seen kicking it off to sidelines, before other objects were thrown.The players had posed with a banner that read ‘Without our black players, we wouldn’t have stars on our shirts’ prior to the game.
Richarlison took to Twitter after the game and said: “As long as it’s ‘blah blah blah’ and they don’t punish, it will continue like this, happening every day and everywhere. No time, bro!” Speaking to the media after the game, the 25-year-old added: “I was talking about this with [Roberto] Firmino, saying that I think God did not allow me to see that because I don’t know what I could have done in the heat of the moment.
“May this fan be identified and punished. It’s hard, you see what happened to Vinicius Jr recently and now this, inside a stadium.“May the authorities find and punish him. May this incident teach other people not to do it.
“The fight against racism is not a cause, but a fundamental change to wipe this type of crime from the planet. I insist on saying that the punishments need to be more severe.”We are disgusted by the racist abuse of Richarlison at last night’s game between Brazil and Tunisia. This has no place in football, or anywhere.
