The Qatar World Cup is about to start, and the criticism has not stopped. Manchester United's two midfielders have questioned one after another.
2022-11-14 15:22Manchester United defeated Fulham 2-1 today to end the final round of the Premier League before the World Cup kicks off on November 21. After the game, Manchester United's two big midfielders - Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes for the World Cup. Approaching expressed concern and criticized the controversy surrounding Qatar's hosting of the World Cup.
Unhappy with World Cup schedule in Qatar
Fernandes , 28, who represented Portugal at the World Cup, was blunt in his criticism of Qatar's hosting of the World Cup in an interview today.
Fernandez said: "The date of the World Cup in November is not suitable for fans, players. Because obviously it is not the best game and viewing time for us who need to work, go to school and participate in club events. It should be better way of doing it.”
Since Qatar is the first Middle Eastern country to host the World Cup, and this desert country has been in summer during the World Cup held from June to July in the previous World Cup, in order to avoid the temperature of the hot season as high as 50 degrees Celsius, FIFA (FIFA) ) has rescheduled the World Cup for the first time from November to December. The host country Qatar will kick off the World Cup with Ecuador in Group A on November 21.
It is worth mentioning that from June to July is the mid-season break of the major European leagues, but from November to December is the time when European football matches are in full swing, so the five major leagues and major European leagues are forced to The suspension of the season a week before the World Cup and the restart after the World Cup has overwhelmed many players. The inability to rest properly on the eve of the World Cup has caused more injury problems.
Poor labor conditions and human rights issues
Fernandez, however, strongly questioned Qatar's treatment of foreign workers and the human rights and safety of LGBT fans.
He told reporters: "In recent months, we have seen many problems during the World Cup in Qatar, especially the workers who died in the construction of the sports stadium, and the idea of the country that LGBT is a criminal group. "
According to the report, hundreds of thousands of foreign workers have been mistreated since Qatar bid for the World Cup in 2010. The country has come under intense scrutiny and criticism after Amnesty International also said dozens of people could die from apparent heatstroke every day.
Fernandez also emphasized that no matter who is eligible to participate in the World Cup, because the World Cup is the world and should belong to everyone, and the World Cup is not only a football game, but also a grand ceremony for fans and players. It is the easiest way to enjoy watching the game. Fun, it should be done in a better way. He also believes that Qatar's mistreatment of workers and open rejection of LGBT groups should not happen at the World Cup.
Fernandes' Manchester United teammate Eriksen also agreed with him, saying that players have the right to focus on football and the world at the same time. Everyone thinks that Qatar has not done it in the right way in terms of hosting the World Cup. Eriksson, who is about to play for Denmark at the World Cup, added: "We are footballers and although politics are decisions made by those above us, players are also outspoken on issues."
