National player Leon Goretzka is considered a man with attitude. How does he view the World Cup in Qatar? A conversation about sport, politics and protest.
Mr. Goretzka, how do you feel about traveling to the World Cup in Qatar?
From a purely sporting point of view, despite all the challenges: overall on a positive note.
Sounds like you have doubts too.
Doubt is too harsh a word. But there are question marks, because there has never been a tournament like this: hardly any preparation time, all players are stuck in the league, and there are often games in the Champions League and the cup. This will be a challenge for the head and for the legs.
