Dances that are not mine. is from Ronaldinho, Neymar, Paquetá, Griezmann, Joao Felix, Matheus Cunha… they range from Brazilian funk and samba artists, from reggaeton singers, and from black Americans. They are dances to celebrate the cultural diversity of the world. Accept it, respect it. I will not stop,” he said and wrote in a message against racism.

“As long as the color of the skin is more important than the brightness of the eyes, there will be war.” I have that phrase tattooed on my body. I have that thought permanently in my head. That is the attitude and the philosophy that I try to live in my life”, the striker began.

“They say that happiness is annoying. The happiness of a successful black Brazilian in Europe is more disturbing. But my desire to win, my smile and the twinkle in my eyes are more than that.

On and off the field. I have created an application to help the education of children in public schools without financial help from anyone. I am creating a school with my name. I still have a lot to do for education. I want future generations to be ready, like me, to fight against racists and xenophobes”, he assured.

Whether in the Sambadrome, in the Bernabéu or anywhere. With the love and smile of a very happy person, Vini Jr. #BAILAVINIJR”, he concluded.
