By declaration of “Tarzan and guitar” by Alejandro Domínguez, the coach of Canarinho positions himself and asks for greater effort in the racial struggle
On the eve of the clash against Colombia, by the qualifications, the coach of the Brazilian team, Dorival Júnior, failed the controversial phrase said by the president of Conmebol, Alejandro Domínguez. In a press conference on Wednesday (19), the coach raised the flag of the need for greater effort in the fight against racism.
Last Monday (17), in an event that marked the draw of Libertadores groups, the agent of the South American entity responded to the future of the tournaments on the continent with an alleged “departure” of the Brazilian clubs, due to theertia of the Confederation in relation to frequent episodes of racial lesions.
“This would be like Tarzan without Ghepardo. Impossible,” said Domínguez, referring to the historic jungle character and his inseparable chimpanzee.
The phrase obtained a highly negative repercussion, since it inevitably interpreted itself as a comparison between Brazilians with monkeys. Despite the official note in which he apologizes for the declaration and claims that he had no intention of offending, Domínguez did not escape criticism.
Dorival and CBF in alignment
Therefore, Dorival defined the phrase of the hat as “unfortunate” and asked for greater dedication to combat racial crime in Conmebol’s gaming games.
“In general, it was a very unfortunate declaration of the president. He himself retired later. What I would like to see would have been the union of confederations and the Conmebol so that we really can, directly, all those who violate the laws and dare to attack their fellow men,” said Canarinho’s commander.
“This is a decision of our whole society in general and we must be more together and close, always charged the authorities continuously for a definitive position,” he added.
Also because we at CBF, all those who are here, have always carried out internal activities aiming exactly to the knowledge of everything that happens for situations like this and we fight so that we can help prevent any decision to be made. Any type of situation that involves lack of respect for humans must be punished with the rigor of the law. That’s all that we want to happen, “he concluded.
In addition, Alejandro Domínguez’s declaration caused the indignation to the CBF, which boycotted the event by not sending representatives to the draw of Libertadores and South America groups.
Brazil and Colombia face themselves on Thursday (20), in Mané Garrincha, in Brasilia, for the 13th round of South American qualifications for the World Cup.
