In this period of health crisis, soccer players, always very closely followed, give an example on social media to enforce containment rules to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Schalke 04 midfielder Amine Harit has also participated in an awareness campaign by the German club to encourage people to stay home. But, according to information from the French newspaper Maxifoot, the Moroccan himself did not respect this instruction.
In fact, after the publication of this video on the club's social networks, on the night of Thursday to Friday, Harit participated in a party, interrupted by the police, at a shisha bar in Essen. Confirming this information, the sports director of the German club Jochen Schneider did not hide the facts. “Admittedly, Amine was there with a friend. He admitted his mistake“said the director of Schalke.
“I reminded him once again of the seriousness of the current situation. In this serious crisis, things that were normal yesterday can no longer be tolerated today. Amine is very sorry and it won't happen again“he continued.
If Schalke 04 was forgiving of the Moroccan, his image is tarnished after this incident. Like the Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount and Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic, who also failed to comply with the containment measuresHarit has been particularly criticized by the media, but also by Internet users on social media. To apologize for this event, the former Paris Saint-Germain player would have planned to make a gesture to help fight this epidemic.
