England international and Tottenham Hotspur star Eric Dier explained in his press conference ahead of the start of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar that it is difficult for him and his fellow players to respond to the questions from the press about the controversy surrounding the tournament.
 
“We as players have absolutely no say in where we play,” Dier said. “Those decisions are made by people way above us. Obviously we’re the ones who end up sitting here having to answer these kinds of questions and it’s a difficult situation for us.”
 
“I carry the values that I’ve been given by my family and what I’ve grown up and the people who have educated me. I carry those values wherever I go, and at the same time, I respect everywhere that I go.”
