Vinicius Jr has told Gabriel Jesus ‘I am your fan’ on the player’s Instagram after Arsenal recorded a 3-0 win over Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday.
Heading into the international break, Mikel Arteta’s side are sitting at the top and with Jesus grabbing his fourth goal of the season at the Brentford Community Stadium.
After the game, the Brazil international sent a message to Vinicius Jr, who was the subject of vile comments from an agent in Spain – Pedro Bravo – who told him to ‘stop playing the monkey’ after he danced during his goal celebration when Real Madrid beat Real Mallorca last week.
Those accusations of racism towards the agent resulted in a number of Vinicius Jr’s teammates coming out in support of the player.
One of them included his fellow countryman in Jesus, who when he scored against Brentford, copied the exact celebration.
Jesus then posted on IG ‘dance and dance’ to which Vinicius Jr replied in the comments section ‘I am your fan’.
JESUS AND VINICIUS ARE DANCING THEIR WAY TO SUCCESS
Real Madrid are flying in La Liga and in the Champions League, with Vinicius Jr leading that charge for Carlo Ancelotti’s men, especially with Karim Benzema’s recent injury.
Arsenal are a few levels below the Spanish giants, but it’s nothing to be ashamed about because, at the end of the day, they are the champions of Europe.
But, one thing is for sure, Areta’s side are on the up, with their summer signing playing a huge part in the club making one of their best starts in well over a decade.
At club level, fans might not see Vinicius Jr and Jesus link-up, but on the international stage, especially at the 2022 World Cup, supporters might see the duo dance their way to the trophy because Brazil are one of the favourites.
