Ex-Espanyol keeper Kameni: Attitude and behaviour is the problem for Real Madrid attacker Vini Jr

Former Espanyol goalkeeper Carlos Kameni says Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr's problems have nothing to do with racism.

Vinicius Jr has accused Valencia fans of racist chants last season, which saw one of their stands closed as punishment.

But Cameroon great Kameni told Relevo: "If Vinicius behaved differently, they would insult him less. When you talk about Vinicius they tell you that he is a provocateur, the problem is more with his attitudes than with anything else.

"There are many black footballers in La Liga who are not targeted, he has a provocative style of play. I'm not talking about changing the way he plays, but rather changing his body language and his reactions.

"That's the key."
