Nightmare changing rooms. James Rodriguez remembers her as ashocking experience; handsomely paid, of course, but still to be forgotten. In an interview with the Brazilian TV channel Globo, the Colombian midfielder and former Real Madrid star spoke about his recent experience in the Qatari football club Al Rayyan like something shocking. And not for the salary of almost 10 million plus benefits (that in fact only impresses us poor people). Rather, the playmaker focused on some Emirati expressions which – according to him – created embarrassment and even bewilderment for him.
For example, Rodríguez assured that he was shocked by the fact that in Qatar they had invited him not to do it the shower naked in the locker room after a match or training. “In football, when it’s time to wash, the players completely undress and there my teammates told me: no, no, you can’t stay like that. That thing created embarrassment and fear in me“, recalled the midfielder, accustomed to very different customs. The footballer then also mentioned other moments of sharing capable of causing him embarrassment in front of his teammates. For example, the lunch.
“Everyone eats there With the hands, which was difficult for me. They shared it with me and I said, ‘No, thanks.’ I asked for cutlery and they said: ‘No, you have to use mai’…“, the former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich star further testified, also confiding his response to that exhortation: “You are crazy, I don’t eat with my hand“. Country you go, customs you find: those habits were extremely surprising”The Bandit“, who also remained in the Qatari team Al Rayyan for only twelve months, precisely in the 2021/2022 season, before moving to Olympiakos and San Paolo.
Of course, the tons of millions received in Qatar would have been a sufficient reason to stay in those parts even in the presence of diners accustomed to eating with their bare hands and many are now – with a hint of irony – asking if farewell to the Emoratina team it was also conditioned by those “nightmare” details reported on TV.
