Boniek responds to the journalist’s accusations. “I would not subscribe to this for any treasures”

Probably everyone expected specific decisions, and instead there is a statement that does not change anything in practice. FIFA has imposed sanctions on Russia that allow it to play in World Cup matches anyway. How was the Russian Federation punished for the attack on Ukraine? decided that.

FIFA made a decision on Russia and it has let the whole world down. President Bońek was also hurt

Everyone was expecting a penalty, while FIFA made a decision as if she wanted to have a cookie and eat a cookie at the same time. The imposed sanctions do not in any way punish a country that has invaded another sovereign state by force. One of the journalists was concerned about one more piece of information contained in the statement, more specifically about the fragment about FIFA consultations with.

“FIFA writes in this scandalous statement that the decision that Russia continues to qualify for the World Cup was made in consultation with UEFA! President Zbigniew Bońku, how does this relate to your today’s entries? It is really getting disgusting” – a journalist wrote on Twitter.

It did not take long for the UEFA vice president to respond. Boniek maintained his earlier position and explained the situation. “I believe that this is a scandalous decision and I found out about it just like you did two hours ago. I would not endorse it for any treasures … please do not involve me in some fifth movements with which I have nothing to do” – we read on Twitter.

. “I cannot imagine that Russian teams in all disciplines that perform under the Russian flag and anthem could participate in any sporting event. I mean not only sanctions, but also concerns about what could happen during such events. the performance would be a time bomb “- wrote the former president of the Polish Football Association.

So you can see that the position of the world federation is completely different from the one presented by a UEFA member. FIFA may change its decision yet – it is not known. UEFA also initially imposed “gentle sanctions” on Russia, but president Boniek announced that the UEFA Executive Committee would meet at the beginning of this week and discuss the matter on an ongoing basis.

– The Champions League Final has moved from Saint Petersburg to Paris. There will be problems with the sponsor because it has been changed. The situation is dynamic. You can throw meat at me if you want, but I say, take it easy, let’s wait a few days. My name is Zbigniew Boniek. Nobody bought me, nobody will buy me.

FIFA’s position did not affect the decision of the Polish Football Association. Poland will not play with Russia appearing under a different name or flag. Our players and the union authorities do not agree to play with a country whose authorities violate the borders of a sovereign state. .
