Vinícius affair: English press erupts against Mourinho

Vinícius affair: violent attack on José Mourinho
The Vinícius Junior case continues to spark reactions far beyond Spain and Portugal. After the Benfica-Real Madrid clash, José Mourinho's statements—intended to ease tensions surrounding accusations of racism—ignited a media firestorm in England.
Vinicius should not celebrate like that. The greatest person in this club's history is black, that's Eusebio. This club is not racist.
These remarks were considered clumsy and inappropriate by parts of the British press.
According to the Daily Mail
This harsh indictment only adds more fuel to the fire.
