I don't have a problem with it in and of itself but these comments always seem completely superficial. See Hector Bellerin talking about absolutely anything outside of football.
And that's before we get into the fact that virtually none of the players, managers, journalists and fans were looking to "shine a light" on Russia four years ago, Brazil four years before that or South Africa four years before that.
It just comes across as someone regurgitating something the public want to hear, rather than speaking from the heart.
