Duro: I want Vini Jr to feel pressure from Valencia fans - on football level

Valencia striker Hugo Duro says Vinicius Jr can expect a hostile reception when he returns to the Mestalla with Real Madrid.

However, Duro insists the barracking must be about football after last season's racist chants.

He said, "I'm looking forward to Saturday so that Vinicius can see that what those three or five demonstrated - I don't know how many there were - imbeciles because they have no other name, obviously does not represent Valencianism, does not represent Valencia at all.

"I want them to come, which is obviously going to be a hostile environment for him, but on a football level, for him to suffer that pressure from Mestalla, but on a football level, with all the respect in the world.

"And I want Vinicius and Real Madrid to come to that he sees that Valencia is a club that he respects, but always at a football level and that the match is very nice."
