Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Social media activists have released video clips of an episode hosted by American comedian Trevor Noah, in which he touched on the style of Saudi national team coach, Frenchman Hervé Renard, with national team players .
This happened during the “Daily Show” program presented by Noah, where he said: “For example, the coach of the Saudi national team, in fact he is French who does not speak Arabic, but the Saudi translator does not speak French, so when the coach he got upset about the team’s performance in the first half, he had to yell at them in English so that the interpreter could yell at them in Arabic.
Noah showed a clip of the Saudi coach, saying after him: “That’s the magic of the World Cup. A Frenchman yells in English at the Saudis because of an English sport. It’s wonderful…”
He added, “I also wonder if the translator is imitating the coach so he doesn’t lose friends, so he says, ‘You’re awful. You should be ashamed of yourself.. That’s what (the coach) said.’ you know me, Mahmoud. I love you…”
