FIFA has officially announced the verdict of the World Preliminary Round European Zone Play-off Group B match between Russia and Poland, which will not need to compete with Russia and advance directly to the next round. For Poland, it was a complete bargain for nothing.
It should be known that the format of the European play-offs of this World Cup is particularly cruel, the participating teams only need to play two games, and any failure of any match will directly miss the Qatar World Cup finals. In Europe, where the strength is generally good, such a format makes strong teams like Italy and Portugal very dangerous, let alone Poland? Poland has no advantage over Russia, and if a match is decided, they are also very likely to be eliminated by Russia. At present, due to the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Poland has directly benefited from the football field.
As a Polish star, Levan has been looking for a presence on social media since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Not only did he publicly accuse Russia, but he also claimed that he refused to play against the Russian team. Compared with other stars who avoid talking about it and avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Levine, who has always been low-key, is very active in this matter and frequently expresses his views, which is extremely rare among first-line stars.
Levan's remarks today are completely untenable, as early as last year, when the Golden Globe competition entered a critical stage, Levan publicly stated that sports have nothing to do with politics and should not be affected by political factors. However, in less than half a year, Levan's attitude changed drastically and he began to frequently "claim justice" for Ukraine.
It was not until after an official FIFA announcement that people could see the intention behind Levan. From the football field, Poland has become the biggest beneficiary of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which is the biggest reason for Levan's frequent statements.
In the face of this incident, both C Ronaldo and Messi spoke very cautiously, remembering their words and deeds as influential public figures. Mero's attitude is a model of a football superstar, what they should be. In such a contrast, Levan, who jumped up and down, appeared to be "double standard" and had a deep heart.
Poland may be able to gain temporary benefits, but Levan's World Cup path is destined to be a foil. Even if you use public opinion to help yourself, in the end it is still not as good as the real top superstar.
