Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga talked to the press after the team’s 0-1 win over Benfica in the Round of 32.
“We played a great match. We won, and that is a reason to be happy because our last game here was not good. The primary objective was achieved. But in the end, there are things that are not football. A player said something bad to my teammate, and when you touch a teammate, you touch me too. We did the right thing by stopping the match,” he said.
Camavinga was asked about Vinicius’
reaction to the controversy.
“Surely things like this affect him. If they say hurtful words to you, it affects you, but we have to support him. That’s life, and we have to move on, but with things like this, there must be a zero-tolerance policy. It’s not about stopping for ten minutes, but stopping the entire match. If you only stop for ten minutes, it doesn’t affect anyone. The tolerance is zero. If something like this happens, the whole match should be stopped, and people will be calmer. With these things, it becomes harder to talk about football,” he concluded.
