Germany’s players posed with their hands over their mouths after FIFA banned them from wearing One Love armbands. Within days, several Qatari viewers responded, and their gesture quickly spread across the globe.
The case of Mesut Ozil, which was mentioned by the Qataris to show the hypocrisy of Germany
The Germans covered their mouths with their hands in an attempt to show that FIFA is censoring free speech.
During Germany’s 1-1 draw with Spain, several Qatari fans showed Mesut Ozil’s face and covered their mouths with their hands.
This is the response of the Qatari hosts to Germany’s protest to FIFA.
With a gesture on Sunday evening, the Qataris tried to prove that the Germans are hypocrites.
When he announced the end of his career with the German national team, Mesut Ozil revealed that he was the victim of racist abuse from German fans.
The ex-player of “Arsenal” and “Real” also stated that everything was done with the complicity of the German Football Association.
The former Panzers midfielder complained that throughout his career he was “a German when he won and an immigrant when he lost”.
With the help of Sunday’s protest, Qatari fans wanted to remind about an important case when the Germans discriminated and took away Mesut Ozil’s right to freedom of speech.
In fact, it is about exactly what the Germans accused FIFA and the Qatari hosts of: a ban on freedom of speech.
