The Dhaka Times Desk There is no work that man cannot do for money. There are allegations that another incident is going to be started by capitalizing on that money. The Dutch coach complained that today's match between Brazil and Cameroon will be a sham.
Brazil-Cameroon game is today at midnight Bangladesh time in World Cup football. Although Brazil won the first match, Brazil faced a tough fight with a goalless draw in the second match. What will happen if they are eliminated in the first round due to Cameroon?
In such a situation, allegations have been made that there has been a truce with Cameroon. It has been alleged that Brazil is going to play a fake match with Cameroon today in order to reach the knock out stage easily and also to choose the opponent of their choice. With this matter, the world football organization FIFA is helping the hosts! Dutch national football team coach Louis van Gaal made such a complaint about Brazil.
The Dutch coach complained, 'Brazil will play a sloppy match against Cameroon today to avoid Holland in the knockout phase. Gamblers even paid Cameroon a huge amount of money to leave this match to Brazil. As the farewell bell has already rung from the tournament, Cameroon does not mind giving up the match of the hosts in exchange for money.
Van Gaal's allegation was further bolstered by a statement from Raf Musk, FIFA's head of security. In a statement on Sunday, FIFA security chief Raf Musk said, 'Just before the knockout phase of the World Cup, some teams have been identified with the possibility of having a relationship with gamblers. Just as some teams will lose their last match in the group stage for money, some teams can take advantage of the match to avoid a particular team in the knock out stage. the news BanglaNews24.
After the comments of Raf Musk and Van Gaal, there has been an uproar over the match being played at the World Cup in Brazil. The international media has also become aware of this issue. Many have also started to take into account the Dutch coach's complaint that Brazil was eliminated after losing to Holland in the quarter-finals of the World Cup last year. Because there is a possibility of Brazil-Holland meeting in this year's knock out phase as well. However, it is considered possible for Brazil to avoid Holland if they win the match against Cameroon. However, Brazil's coach Luiz Felipe Scolari laughed off the accusations of losing the match.
Rejecting Van Gaal's allegations, Scolari insisted, "There is no question of playing a match against Cameroon." He said, 'Even if the World Cup is over, Cameroon's self-esteem will remain one thing. Surely the Indomitable Lions would not want to lose that respect for money. This accusation is undoubtedly nothing but showing disrespect to Cameroon.'
On the other hand, in the knock out phase, Brazil will choose the opponent of their choice, or how will it be possible? Because, it is still not confirmed which team from A-Group or B-Group will play as the best and runners-up in the knock out phase. Those who are making accusations of match-fixing are either idiots or miscreants.'
Brazil coach Scolari's arguments against Van Gaal. According to him, the Brazil-Cameroon match has been decided after the Holland-Chile match on Monday. Doesn't the arrangement of the fixture prove that FIFA has scheduled the match this way to help Brazil avoid Holland?'
However, no matter what the case is, no matter how many counter-complaints there are. After the game it will not be understood what actually happened. Match fixing happens in different countries. Not only in football but also in cricket, such incidents are happening again and again. In exchange for money, some players mixed the honor of their country with dust. These issues should be looked at strictly so that an organization like FIFA cannot touch them. Allegations may not be true. However, FIFA needs to pay more attention to ensure that such an incident never happens.
