Compare England and Spain, Ancelotti: It’s Like War Here

– Real Madrid’s Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti compared English football with Spain over the racial slurs suffered by his player Vinicius Junior during his match against Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium.

According to him, in Spain when there is a match at a stadium in Spain there are security officers as if there is going to be a war. Meanwhile in England there are no police at all. According to him, this is because in England there are strict measures for spectators who act racist.

Ancelotti, who has experience in England with Chelsea and Everton, was highly critical of racism in Spain and used English competition as an example.

He focused his entire speech on the fight against hate crimes in world football and praised the good work of the Premier League, which took drastic measures recently and can now enjoy its results on all football fields.

This is a league that is healthy from within, one that respects footballers and has left behind the regrettable incidents like the one Vinicius experienced at the Mestalla.

“Cursing is not enough, we started cursing a long time ago, but after cursing you have to act and nothing has been done to end this problem,” Ancelotti said.

“This is a problem of racism and insults. There are countries where they don’t insult you.”

“In England they don’t insult you because they solved this problem a long time ago when in 1985 English teams were banned from European competition for five years,” he said.

“There were some cases of racism there, but no insults. So much so that there are no police at Premier League games,” said the coach, who has also managed Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

“Here it looks like it’s going to war. You have a van in front of you, another one behind, another one on the side. What is this?,” continued the 63-year-old coach.

“Fortunately in England they took very drastic action and got it over with.”
