Former footballer of Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk Andrey Kanchelskis criticized the timing of the 2022 World Cup. Recall that for the first time in the history of football, the current World Cup is held not in the summer, but at the height of the season - in November and December.

In winter they play hockey, not football. I don't think that the Spaniards and the Portuguese would have lost to Morocco if the tournament had been held in the summer. But the more interesting.
Everyone is now playing for the result. Any mistake can lead to a negative result. So the Moroccans played for the result. Yes, they set up a bus and played defensive football, but they achieved the desired result,” said Kanchelskis.
