De Bruyne sui diritti umani in Arabia Saudita: “Ogni paese ha i suoi lati positivi e negativi. Alcune persone ti daranno esempi del perché non dovresti andarci, ma puoi anche darli riguardo al Belgio o all’Inghilterra. Tutti hanno meno punti positivi. Chissà, forse ti racconteranno i difetti del mondo occidentale.”

Fuckkkkk ooooooooffffffff with that whataboutism.
It´s somehow only the wealthy countries that get a pass though…
Ja maar, ze geven mij meer geld dan in België dus ze kunnen niet slecht zijn.
Zoiets dus.
Looks like he is already on the payroll
Wat is de obsessie met voetballers politieke vragen stellen?
Missed the opportunity to stfu.
Comparing Saudi Arabia with England or Belgium is nuts!
Look at Lebron James’ stance about China, it’s the same shit: Athletes who get paid obscene amounts of money, won’t acknowledge wrongdoings of potential and present cash cows.
Saudi Arabia is doubling down hard on sportswashing. Hosting an F1 grand prix is a typical example, so is luring world-class footballers to come and play for teams there. Even golf events! In a country that’s known to be bone-dry! WWE (American “Wrestling”) and snooker world masters too!
That is also how my 7 Yr old explained it
Slavery good
“Kevin de bruyne”
I hope he respects himself enough to never play there but it does not seem like it. I can’t ever imagine having that much money and still throw away my values for… even more money.
I think the only thing he thinks is “bad” in our country, is the fact that we have to pay taxes (which he’s most likely not been doing for a while). Totally comparable to a country that has journalists chopped into pieces, indeed.
Fuck you Kevin. Go live in a country that considers your daughter a piece of property, and stay there.
als Saoudi Arabie mij 70 miljoen per jaar betaald ben ik ook bereid om zulke uitspraken te doen hoor 😉
He’s spent the last few years being willfully part of the Abu Dhabi Sportswashing Project (previously known as Manchester City Football Club), so these views are hardly surprising.
“It’s all the same. Why have any principles? I’m just good at football, don’t come to me for quotes about human rights.”
yes there are some bad things about Saudi Arabia, like chopping journalists to pieces
but in Belgium the government budget is running an increasing deficit, so …
It think it’s a good deal: Europe gives them people who could hit a football, they give Europe hundreds of millions of oil dollars.
Let’s all make sure we keep watching football by the millions every weekend so that these football clubs can continue to rake up shitloads of money from sponsors to make assholes like this guy make statements like that.
I hope the people judging his stance also refrain from ordering from Alibaba, Shein or buying at Primark?
Tis geen intellectuele hoogvlieger;
hoewel hij zichzelf die eigenschap lijkt toe te dichten…
Met uitzondering van Kompany; Vertonghen zou ik niet veel belang hechten aan de hersenspinsels van onze nationale voetballerkes
Hoe meer geld de saoudi’s verbrassen aan europeanen hoe beter.
Als hun olie op is kunnen ze na 20 jaar weer kamelen gaan drijven.
Ah yes, the high and mighty defenders of the west arise. The west who invaded and colonised a shitload of countries. The west who fund the warfare for the likes of Israel to commit genocide while lying to the people ect. Indeed, the west is great. In truth the west has probably the most blood on their hands of the entire world, but people prefer to swallow the blue pill and act morally allmighty towards the rest of the world. How hated we must be .
Yes as a civilization we have it better than most countries in terms of civilian rights, but lets not get too cocky here
