Morocco-Croatia: What does this gesture by Achraf Hakimi mean?

Arbitration is lacking in this world or at least in the matches where the lions are involved. The public, particularly Moroccan, points to FIFA.

Has the international federation lost its impartiality? otherwise she can’t digest this rise of the lions to the highest level of competition. Be that as it may, there is a strong wave of protests in the Moroccan ranks: national press, supporters and players, not to mention the others, feel aggrieved and negatively affected by the slippages and wrongs they are facing.

Achraf Hakimi summed up this state of affairs with a gesture known to mass protest movements. Leaving the match with Croatia following the whistle awarded bronze to Luka Modric’s teammates, defender Achraf Hakimi put his hands on his head, crossing them as if they were linked. A gesture reminiscent of the protest movements in Tunisia, or that of students in Hong Kong. A gesture whose connotation is explained by the words refusal and indignation.
