During the program Esporte Espetacular, which carried out a survey on racism in the sport after the episode of the banana thrown by a Villarreal fan against Dani Alves, Inter defender Juan defender, revealed a sad episode dating back to June two years ago during a friendly match between Brazil and Argentina played in the United States. The Brazilian claimed to have been racially abused by the the Argentine attacker Gonzalo Higuain, at the time at Real Madrid and now at Napoli. This is his story: “During a normal play, I stole the ball from Higuain. At that time he started saying to me: ‘Go away, nigger, monkey go away’. At first I was puzzled, for about ten seconds, I wondered why a guy known throughout the world for his quality and for his personality, would do so. It saddened me, I was helpless, I didn’t know what to do.”
