		</div><p>Newcastle midfielder Joelinton has revealed he received racist messages following last month’s Premier League defeat to Arsenal.</p>
<p>The 26-year-old spoke about the subject while on international duty with Brazil, saying “many things need to be changed”.</p>
<p>Newcastle were beaten 2-0 by the Gunners at St James’ Park on May 7th.</p>
<p>“It’s an important moment to speak about racism,” Joelinton told a press conference. “We have been talking about it for a long time.</p>
<p>“Still, many things need to be changed. We talk about a combat against racism but we didn’t have much of a change.</p>
<p>“This (racism) is not something happening now, but for a long time.</p>
<p>“And, in the 21st century, we still see things like that. It’s hard to accept and believe that we are evolving when things like that still happen.”</p>
<p>Asked if he had suffered racist abuse, the player replied: “Not on the pitch, no.</p>
<p>“But after that match against Arsenal playing at home, I have received some messages with racist insults. But it’s gone, it didn’t affect me.”</p>
<p>Joelinton, who is in line to win his first cap for his country in upcoming friendlies against Guinea and Senegal, received a message of support from his club.</p>
<p>A post on Newcastle’s official Twitter account read: “There is no room for racism. Anywhere. We’re with you, Joe.”</p>
