Didn't mean it as racist, but Brazilians and Africans have the worst entourages in general. Rangnick had a point when he talked about the whole "village" of Conakry pushing Keita to move. Coutinho indeed does seem like a good kid but how's his father/entourage? Would prefer not to go through this farce again.
Applying "in general" perceptions to all individuals from a group is exactly racism. I wouldn't refuse a muslim in my team/company only because "muslims in general are not that open minded", the same way I wouldn't have a bad perception about a Russian individual because "Russians have drinking problems in general".
You either know a people has "that flaw" or you don't. You can't auto input a flaw on a person because he is from a specific group.
Anyway, I am sure you didn't have the intention and didn't realize it was offensive. No reason to discuss that deeply.
That being said, Coutinho had the chance to leave Vasco for Real Madrid FOR FREEE before signing his first professional contract. Both Coutinho and his father agreed with us to sign a contract and only after that be sold to Inter, in order to satisfy the needs of all parties involved.
Also, "entourage" is something only Neymar really has.
Don't worry about Coutinho on this matter, his personality is nothing like Neymar.
