The defender took a penalty against Juventude, but the goalkeeper took it. Robert Renan was subjected to racist abuse on social media after the match
Defender Robert Renan apologized to Internacional fans after Juventude’s elimination. Furthermore, in a post on social media, the defender lamented his fall in Gauchão’s semi-final, in which he had taken a penalty with a cavadinha.
“It will not be with apologies that my mistake will be erased. But the first step is to apologize to the Colorado fans, the group of players, the technical committee and the employees. I promise to maintain my professionalism every day “Have the opportunity to recover with all. I am very sad for what happened and for letting society down. At no point did I want to be disrespectful or make a joke. The only thing I can do right now is work” train hard, train harder and harder and try to win back the affection of all the fans, who have always treated me in the best way since the first day I was here” , he wrote.
After the match, the player received some racist insults on the internet. In a statement, however, Colorado repudiated these attitudes and provided support to Robert Renan.
“Sport Club Internacional vehemently repudiates the racist attacks against athlete Robert Renan. Clube do Povo does not tolerate any kind of discrimination. No result on the field justifies and will never justify attacks of this criminal nature,” the club said.
