Irregularities at the World Cup, the terrible suspicion coming from France: ‘Too much money and political interests’. And on Wednesday is the semi-final against Morocco
Wednesday is an important semifinal, one of those that can really make history: Morocco in fact faces France, in what looks like a David versus Goliath match for what are the values that will take the field. But behind it, beyond sport, there are also political entanglements, despite Macron’s words before the World Cup that football ‘is not politics’
But from France, specifically from the lawyer Juan Branco, came some words that could make some noise. Branco intervened during the live Twitch broadcast of calciomercato.it on TVPLAY giving an overview of what the situation is right now. With days, even for the huge Moroccan colony on the other side of the Alps, that are very hot.
Irregularities at the World Cup, Branco’s words
Macron
“The reality is that football is very political, in France it has already been politicised with first Sarkozy and then Macron, the relationship between France and Qatar is very important. Qatar bailed out a lot of French companies after the 2008 crisis, in return came support from Platini to organise the 2022 World Cup. Paris Saint Germain was also part of this great operation, and so it was able to become great’. Pithy words, those of Branco, that leave room for very little interpretation.
‘Morocco has eliminated Spain and can now eliminate France and, this thing, scares the right,’ the lawyer continued. Then, on the question of the politics-football plot, another jab: ‘Macron made sure that Mbappé, for example, could stay in France, there was a negotiation directly between Al Thani and Macron so that he would not go to Real Madrid. In short, the politics appear to be there. And how.
