Tiktuknu: Summary of the day in sports, 20.9 (Sport1)
The 2022 World Cup kicks off in two months, and while there is no bigger tournament than the World Cup, not everyone is keen to fly to Qatar.
The coach of the German national team, Hanzi Flick, who had previously expressed reservations about holding the tournament in the country, once again pressed the issue and told the German media: "Was it appropriate to grant Qatar the hosting of the World Cup? This question should have been asked at a much earlier stage, and the answer is no! The fact is that as far as rights are concerned Adam, a lot of things are wrong there. It's completely clear."
Also last month, Flick criticized the holding of the tournament in Qatar, mainly on the background of the almost non-existent LGBT rights in the country, and said: "It is unfortunate, because this World Cup will not be for the fans.
I have friends who would like to fly to Qatar, but they won't make it due to a variety of reasons.
Football should be open to everyone." The German coach even hinted at the possibility that his national team - and perhaps other national teams - will express some sort of protest: "This is a global challenge.
We have already had many conversations on the subject, we will sit down again next month and see what can be done, if we want to do it." The
Germans, who will meet Spain, Japan and Costa Rica in the group stage, will open their way in the tournament on November 23. Flick was asked what kind of national team coach he is, And he replied: "I see myself as part of the training team, not as a boss who says, come, work for me and I'll take all the credit.
This is not my way."
It is not the first time that he has come out against the holding of the tournament in Qatar.

He said about the crisis experienced by his former team Bayern Munich at the start of the season: "When the season just started, Bayern played great and they thought the other teams had no chance. Now they are in a slightly worse place, but they always create so many chances, which is positive. Julian Nagelsmann is an excellent coach, I Loves the way his teams play, regardless of the results."
