The captain of France for the violations reported in Qatar: We care about the field, we're athletes, we're not politicians.

But the closer the event gets, the higher and the more the <x0mulatory” voices become for Qatar's organising country, dubbed a state that violates human rights, so that during the construction of stadiums many employees lost their lives after working without proper security conditions.

Often in the cause that fans are pursuing to boycott or protest in Qatar, those leading protagonists, the players, have also been invited. Recently, however, France's captain Hugo LIoris has expressed himself on the subject, stressing that football players are athletes and not politicians.

There's a lot of pressure going on the players, if they have to pressure on this case, then something like that should have started ten years ago. It's too late now. Players face an opportunity that is presented once every four years and their main focus is the field.

The rest is politics and it's up to politicians to take, we're athletes”, LIoris said. /s
