Cléber Machado today led the transmission Belgium vs Canada, for the first round of Group F of the World Cup. During the match, Globo’s narrator caused some discomfort to the fans who followed the duel between Belgians and Canadians. In the first half, the announcer repeated a few times which team was wearing the red and white jerseys.

On Twitter, Cléber Machado’s notes made internet users uncomfortable. In addition, some pronunciation errors by Belgian and Canadian athletes also had repercussions.

It should be remembered that, unlike previous editions, Cléber did not travel to Qatar and broadcast from studios here in Brazil. At the “Na Telinha” site, he spoke openly about the subject and was very understanding with the broadcaster’s decision.

“Everyone wants to go to the World Cup. From the student who begins to do journalism and even from the veteran. Yes, it’s a question of scale, a question of logistics, it’s a question of resources. He has a whole structure to make, he has a whole climate to make, he has a whole environment. Every World Cup is different, you know? Each has its own detail. No crisis,” he said.
