The fact that Russian men's and women's soccer teams have been banned from the World Cup has been the most talked about recently. And the reason given by FIFA and UEFA is war. And many players are supporting the FIFA and UEFA decisions, even some of the top stars, such as Levine, who are supporting the decision. However, there are also people who do not support this decision, he is the Spanish defender Bellerin, who recently said in an interview that the Russian men's and women's football team will not be allowed to participate in the World Cup, which is a "double standard".
Recently, Bellerin said: "I don't know why this is the case, when palestine is at war, everyone is silent. Nobody talks about them, yemen, Iraq, all of them. Russia banned from the World Cup? And FIFA and UEFA turn a blind eye to other wars? I think that position is racial discrimination. Of course, Bellerin also said a lot of other things, but the core meaning is that if the Russian men's and women's football team is not allowed to participate in the World Cup, that is a double standard.
In fact, Bellerin is not the only one who has this view, and many football stars have said similar things before. Ironically, however, when FIFA President Infantino and UEFA President Ceferin took office, both stressed that football has nothing to do with politics. However, their approach does not seem to be the case. And, as Bellerin puts it, their approach also seems to be a bit of a double standard. However, at present, the Russian Football Federation is still making a last effort, and they hope that the International Court of Arbitration for Sport will be able to reject the decisions of FIFA and UEFA.
Bellerin's remarks are actually very reasonable, and there are many fans who support Bellerin. However, there are certainly some players who will be dissatisfied with Bellerin's remarks, that is, I don't know if Zinchenko and others, who have been very active on social media before, will point the finger at Bellerin. After seeing Bellerin's remarks, Chelsea fans will definitely feel good about him, after all, Chelsea has also been greatly affected by the war, and Chelsea fans are also very dissatisfied with it!
