BarcelonaThe goalkeeper of the German national team, Manue Neuer, assured on Saturday that he would wear the armband One Love, which would later be banned by FIFA and Qatar. But Neuer had continued to decide to wear it and in the last few hours there had been rumors that he could declare himself in rebellion and ignore the instructions of the German federation, which had agreed not to wear this vindictive piece. Finally, he came out to play with an armband with the slogan No discrimination (allowed by FIFA), but without the rainbow colors or the slogan One love. In this way, he has ended up yielding to the threats of sanction from the highest body in world football, subject to the interests of Qatar.
Yesterday Tuesday, coach Hansi Flick already criticized FIFA. “If it had only been a yellow card, the players would have worn the LGBTI armband. But FIFA was not precise with the sanction. It’s a shame that you can’t fight for human rights. FIFA refuses. The players al· lucinen,” he said in the preview of the match against Japan. For their part, the German players have covered their mouths in the official picture of the eleven before the start of the match against Japan. Follow all the information live.
