January 17 News Schaffert, the vice chairman of the German Football Association, accepted an interview with “Bild” a few days ago and said
Said he should not call the German international who covered his mouth a monkey.
Because FIFA said that it is not allowed to wear rainbow armbands, the German team collectively covered their mouths in protest before the World Cup match against Japan. A few days ago, Shaffert said in an interview that the players behaved like little monkeys.
Now, Shaffert apologized for his remarks, saying: “I regret choosing the word ‘monkey’. I did not mean to insult the players of the national team. It is unfortunate. If it is now, I would not be like this.”
Said, of course it’s not right. But what was said was like water spilled, and I can’t take it back now.”
“I didn’t watch the game in Qatar myself, I just watched the game on TV. As for the word ‘little monkey’, it comes from the three little monkeys covering their ears, mouth and eyes in Emoji expressions.”
