As part of the club World Cup, Juventus Turin was a guest in the White House. The unusual meeting became a strange appointment bit by bit.
Sports teams in the White House are not a novelty. The winners of the big US sports leagues regularly stop by the respective US president and get congratulations. As part of the club World Cup in the United States, football club Juventus Turin now followed Donald Trump’s invitation and visited the Oval Office together with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
But the visit of the Juventus players became more and more bizarre over time, because Trump answered some reporter questions about the current political situation, while the individual professionals-including ex-Schalker and US national player Weston McKennie-were behind him.
He also reacted to the question of whether the Iranian regime could be overthrown. “Of course, everything could happen, right?” Said Trump. Will he support the offensive of Israel? “Maybe I will do it. Maybe I don’t do it. Nobody knows what I will do. I can tell you one thing: Iran has a lot of problems and wants to negotiate.”
When he posed for photos with the players again, he added: “I have ideas what I could do, but I have no final yet [Entscheidung] met.”
The subsequent club World Cup game was able to win Juventus in any case. The Italians won 5-0 against Al-A-Aran from the United Arab Emirates.
