On the malicious campaigns against Qatar by some foreign media, he said, “I think it is good to highlight what is positive about the games. There should be some criticism that is a nature of hosting any global event. I think after the end of that Qatar will be stronger than before, they will stand up to the criticism, they will respond, and the most important here is not what the press says, but what everyone coming to Qatar has of experience.”
