One of the most famous Colombian players of all time, James Rodriguez, spoke about his bitter experience in Qatar.

In the Middle Eastern country, the 32-year-old attacking midfielder played in 2021-2022 defending the colors of the "Al Rayyan" team.

However, since then he hasn't even considered invitations from clubs in these countries.

"Living in that culture is very difficult, and in Qatar - it's hard to fit in.

For example, as you know, in football everyone showers naked, but my teammates warned me not to do it that way anymore. I got scared.

Also, everyone there eats with their hands and tried to teach me such manners.

I said that I would like to have utensils, but they still told me to eat with my hands," - "Globo" quotes J. Rodriguez.
