Mallorca's Antonio Raillo faced more than one question about Vinicius, who he considers it normal that more fouls are made against him due to his play: "He looks to dribble and get past the opponent. And it's normal that he receives more fouls, the defenders are the bad guys. That's why the focus is also a bit there. I prefer not to go in and evaluate. It's generating a controversy that we've been having for three or four years and that doesn't benefit anyone", he said, somewhat annoyed.

Speaking before the training session in preparation for the semi-final of the Super Cup against Real Madrid in Jeddah, the Spanish centre-back did not want to answer the question of whether there is any slogan to ‘prick’ the Brazilian international in order to make him lose his temper. "You want to look for controversy and we prefer not to get involved," he justified himself.

Raíllo admitted that the defeat in the Copa against Pontevedra "hurts, but we have to forget it". "We have to keep looking forward. A bump in the road doesn't spoil the first round we've done in La Liga. Being here is a prize for everyone," he said.

Regarding the fact that the Saudi fans will support Real Madrid more, the Bermellón defender said: "The away fans don't play. We are eleven against eleven and it depends on what we do".
