11-year-old boy victim of racial injury in match receives Santos shirt | Saints

Luiz Eduardo Bertoldo Santiago was known for a video that went viral in recent days when he cries when he denounces that he suffered racism from the opposing coach (look down).

The gift was given by the brother of forward Arthur Gomes, who lives in Uberlândia-MG, the same city as Luiz Eduardo. In a post on social media, Santos wrote:

– We wait for you here in the Village, boy!

On Wednesday, Luiz Eduardo played a match for the Caldas Cup, in Caldas Novas, inland of Goiás, for the Uberlândia Academy U-11 team, in the city of Triângulo Mineiro.

After the game, even with the victory of his team, the boy left the grass crying. When asked what had happened, he said that he had heard insults from the opposing coach during the match.

– The boy used to say “Close the black there, look! Then I waited to talk to the parents at the end. He said many times” – he said.

The report was published by the mining team, with parental permission, on social media, with a note of disapproval, last Thursday. A police report was registered and the boy testified before the Civil Police on Friday.

Lázaro Caiana de Oliveira, an opposition coach accused by the boy of sending the team to “score the black”, denies having said the sentence and revealed that he had suffered threats after the repercussions of the case. It was provisionally suspended by the organization of the competition.
