Yon de Luisa leaves in the hands of FIFA the corresponding sanctions for the teams that denied the loan of players
The president of the Mexican Soccer Federation, Yon de Luisa, considered it disrespectful that European clubs only lend players to some countries to play the qualifiers of his team heading to Qatar 2022, after Raul Jimenez He was one of the great absentees with El Tri in the first call for Gerardo Martino to look for a ticket to the world tournament.
“We know that FIFA contacted Wolves (Jiménez’s club) and we wait to see how the team reacts. It is in their hands the sanctions that they undertake to avoid this. We all lose, from the player, us with the national team and the fans and the club, which will have a responsibility and will have to abide by the sanctions of FIFA ”.
“I think that in soccer, if anything, we have seen that the protocols are extraordinary and the first thing we take care of is the health of our athletes and coaches and limiting this to certain countries is disrespectful to all of us who have worked in football this year”He said at a sporting event on Friday.
Similarly, he argued that FIFA has already contacted Wolverhampton in England and it will be up to the highest body in world football to define the sanctions to the English box, as well as the position they will take for the future.
“I think it is a massive case. We cannot see Raúl as a single subject. It seems to me that we must analyze in depth and it is the responsibility of FIFA and that this does not happen again ”, added the president of the Aztec football team.
Similarly, he shared that Jiménez always had the desire and desire to travel with the national team, but the club denied him the possibilities because Mexico is on the red list of the British government on countries with a health risk due to the pandemic, so the player was going to have to do a mandatory isolation of at least 10 days upon his return.
“There was constant communication with the player. The player had all the will to come and we deeply appreciate that. Unfortunately it is in the hands of the decisions of the club and there he did not have the endorsement ”, he concluded.
