The English as well as the German national team will kneel down as a sign against racism before their round of 16 match. Manuel Neuer announced that. The English are also watching something from the Germans.
The German national soccer team will take a stand against racism at the European Championship and, like opponents England, will collectively go to their knees before the kick-off of the round of 16. This was announced by Captain Manuel Neuer at the press conference in London. The goal of the game on Tuesday evening (6 p.m. / ARD and Magenta TV) at Wembley Stadium was to “show solidarity with the English who showed this gesture at all games,” said the Bayern Munich goalkeeper. ”
“We stand for tolerance. It wasn’t a question for us. We’ll go with it immediately,” said Neuer. In return, England’s captain Harry Kane, like Neuer, will wear the rainbow armband for tolerance and diversity on his arm as captain. The Three Lions’ goalscorer wanted to send a signal to the end of “Pride Week” and to the LGBTQI + community around the world, said the English national team. Neuer has been wearing the rainbow-colored captain’s armband for a few games and was praised for it.
Manuel Neuer: “Are open, tolerant society”
“I think it’s good. It shows where we stand in our society, and that we will be so far advanced in Central Europe in 2021 that we, as an open, tolerant society, will find such an action very positive,” said the 35-year-old goalkeeper “Kicker”.
The abbreviation LGBTQI + stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans and other non-heterosexual people or people who do not identify with the traditional role model of men and women or other social norms relating to gender and sexuality.
