Belgium midfielder Yannick Carrasco says he does not share the criticism of Saudi Arabia’s poor human rights record.
“Cristiano is there with his wife and has an ordinary life there,” Carrasco said. “Neymar, Benzema, I went there myself. I see how women live there, and how people go about their lives. Honestly, it is a beautiful country. It is hard to judge if you only listen to what people say about it. You have to experience it yourself.”
“I opted for security, looking at what I had and what I could get,” he said. “I’m more near the end of my career than anything else.” Carrasco, however, added he was happy at Atletico and in Europe, but that he decided to leave for his peace of mind.
