Qatar threatens a sporting disaster at the World Championships in four years. Will the coach help him win the Champions League three times in a row with Real Madrid?
Zinedine Zidane did not have to wait long to find a new job offer. Qatar is supposed to attract the departing coach for his World Cup project, and the money, of course, does not matter. The emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani would be willing to pay 200 million euros to Zidane – so that the former coach of Real Madrid, retired, will end up shaping the l & # 39; The country's lame national team. Finally, the host threatens a sporting disaster in four years.
Qatar is ranked 98th in the world ranking
Qatar is the first host country in history to have never participated in a final tournament. The team ranked at No. 98 in the world rankings – one place better placed than Palestine. The $ 1 billion investment in an outstanding infrastructure, such as the state-of-the-art performance center Aspire Academy, does not pay yet. And yet, Nbader Al-Khater, vice president of the World Cup organizing committee, said: "I think we have good opportunities to be competitive by 2022". But how should it succeed so quickly? Threat of a shopping tour like the last time in the handball players before the World Cup home in 2015?
Qatar as an investor has long been a giant player in the sport, but still a dwarf footballer. The recovery of KAS Eupen 2012 has also not changed much: the provincial club in Belgium is from the center of the emirate squad in Europe. Talents that have proved pretty good after an elaborate scouting and a lot of training in the internal academy should put the finishing touches on Eupen. However, almost no native of Qatar has managed to make the jump to Europe.
There are more Africans. The Academy Aspire maintains a field office in Senegal, thousands of talents also from Mali or Nigeria are spotted, coached in short matches and invited to Qatar or sent directly to partner clubs in Europe. To do it. The Senegalese Moussa Wague (Eupen) speaks of a graduate of the academy. In the preliminary round of the World Cup against Japan, he scored a goal. And many model critics suspect that Qatar is finally burying footballers like Wague for the World Cup.
There was a desert fairy tale in handball
Qatar manufacturers like German Andreas Bleicher clearly dismiss these allegations as unfounded. the rules of the World Fifa Federation, which exclude a jumping nation. However, there are already currents in world football that want to soften some restrictions. The Cape Verde Islands have recently requested that players who have already completed international matches for a senior team should also return to another country.
In other sports, Qatar has already bought a global selection in which athletics, for example African talents have attracted a lot of money. We also remember the example of handball: three years ago, a team of people from around the world (12 of the 16 players were naturalized before the tournament) provided a small fairy tale of the desert: Qatar earned money
. in other football teams, attackers born in another country. But in Qatar, the suspicion is about to push to the extreme. Incidentally, Sebastian Soria is the best player and scorer in the country. Born in Uruguay.
