The words of Carlo Ancelotti about the racist incidents that Vinicius suffered in Mestalla have ended up in court. The Valencia Small Shareholder Association (APAVCF) has filed a complaint with the Prosecutor's Office for “insults and slander” against the Real Madrid coach for the words of the Italian coach after the meeting between Valencia and Real Madrid in which he said that “a whole stadium went crazy and called Vinicius a monkey, a monkey”.

Despite the fact that Ancelotti later qualified his statements on social networks and apologized at a press conference a few days later, the small shareholders assure that the Italian “treated an entire stadium with 46,002 spectators as racists” and “transmitted false accusations, possibly intentionally and, as a consequence of them, Valencia CF. has seen its image damaged, as well as that of its fans and shareholders”, they collect in their letter. “What's more, the diffusion power that these words have when being a Real Madrid coach has also damaged the image of the Valencian Community by associating it with generalized racism,” they add.

The association asks the Prosecutor's Office to carry out the “pertinent investigation” and to file “the pertinent complaint on behalf of the aggrieved”, but in its statement, it also leaves open the option of filing a complaint for injuries against the technician.

The complaint literally includes some of the expressions that the coach used in the press room at Mestalla on June 21, such as “the atmosphere is racist”, “the whole stadium has yelled at him monkey, monkey, monkey”, ” I was not a person who has gone crazy, here a stadium has gone crazy” or “I have never seen a whole stadium make racist insults”.

The association, with a strong harmony with the management of Valencia, is not satisfied with the nuances of his words that Ancelotti made two days after the meeting in which he assured that he was not referring to “46,000 people, only to a group that has behaved very badly”. “There weren't 46,000 and I apologize if that was understood, but there weren't two or three either,” he insisted.

The racist incident has not only led to an investigation with three arrested and charged by a court in Valencia, but also led to the decision of the Competition Committee to close the entertainment stands at Mestalla for five games, which the Appeal finally left in three and which already fulfilled one against Espanyol last Sunday.
