Yon de Luisa leaves FIFA in the hands of the corresponding sanctions for teams that denied the loan of players
The president of the Mexican Football Federation, Yon de Luisa, considered it disrespectful that European clubs only lend players to some countries to play in the qualifiers of his selection heading to Qatar 2022, after that Raúl Jiménez was one of the great absentees with the Tri in the first call of Gerardo Martino to look for a ticket in the world-wide fair.
“We know that FIFA communicated with the Wolves (Jiménez’s club) and we look forward to seeing how the team reacts. It is in their hands the sanctions they take to prevent this. We all lose, from the player, us with the team and the fans and a little to the club, which will have a responsibility and will have to abide by the FIFA sanctions “.
“I think in football if anything we have seen that the protocols are extraordinary and the first thing we care about is the health of our athletes and coaching staff and delimiting this to certain countries is a disrespect to all of us who have worked in football this year“He said at a sporting event this Friday.
Similarly, he has argued that FIFA has already communicated with Wolverhampton of England and it will be a matter for the highest body in world football to define the sanctions in the English box, as well as the stance they will take for the future.
“I think it’s a massive case. We can’t see Raúl as a single issue. I think we need to analyze in depth and it’s FIFA’s responsibility and that this doesn’t happen again,” the Aztec football president added.
Similarly, he shared that Jiménez always had the desire and the desire to travel with the selection, but that the club denied the possibilities to him by the fact that Mexico is in the red list of British government on countries at health risk from the pandemic, so the player was going to have to do mandatory isolation for at least 10 days upon his return.
“There was constant communication with the player. The player had all the will to come and we thank him deeply. Unfortunately he is in the hands of the club decisions and here he did not have the endorsement,” he concluded.
