The bravery of Iranian World Cup captain Ehsan Hajsafi

The captain of the Iranian World Cup team Ehsan Hajsafi said at press conference today: 

“My condolences to all the mourning families in Iran … we stand with them and share their pain … we must accept that conditions in our country are not right and our people are not happy … my people are sad and our presence here does not mean that we cannot be a voice for them or should not respect them … we owe our lives to our people and we are here to work hard, fight, show our best performance and score goals, and present them to the bereaved Iranian people … I hope that things will improve and everyone will be happy.”

What a brave and honourable man. We need to salute Ehsan Hajsafi.

Compare his words with the bizarre speech of FIFA’s president Gianni Infantino. Infantile.
