The German boss did not hold back in praises when he was asked about the player's performances, which have been the cause of insults and slurs against the Brazilian.

The UEFA Champions League game between Liverpool and Real Madrid will be one of the most anticipated in the next few days, and while he was not aware of an issue with one of his rivals' problems away from the pitch, coach Jürgen Klopp showed his solidarity with Vinicius and also sent a strong message to those who have been behind a campaign to slur the footballer wherevere he goes.

Speaking in the pre-match press conference, coach Klopp did not hold back when replying to a question about Vinicius' playing style and how it could offend some of his rivals.

Klopp admitted he had not read about the criticism against the Brazilian, who has been slammed by his goal celebrations and dribbling antics, which have been taken as an insult by some rival players and have sparked racial slurs against him in different venues, such as Osasuna's stadium last weekend.

When asked about this issue or how it could have an influence on Tuesday's game, Klopp ruled out that Vinicius' antics can be qualified as disrespectful, but before he stopped talking about this issue, the coach sent quite a message to those against Vini and who turn matters that take place in a match into something else.
