Borja Iglesias plays down talk of greeting Donald Trump | OneFootball

Borja Iglesias has addressed the prospect of greeting Donald Trump in the future, stressing caution and a wish to avoid controversy. According to Superdeporte, the Spanish striker was asked about it and responded carefully.

He said he had considered such a scenario and made clear he did not want it to become a flashpoint. He joked he had no desire to end up in jail, adding he had imagined the moment, hoped any exchange would come at a happier time, be brief and soon forgotten.

Iglesias also sought to quell the debate, saying it was not the time to stir arguments. He indicated it would be unwise to dwell on an issue that could divert attention away from football.

He reflected that his stance has long been public and pushed back at the notion he wields major influence. While he would like to do many things, he said he lacks the power some attribute to him.

These comments have returned him to the media spotlight for his reflections on current affairs rather than performances on the pitch. On this occasion he appears to be prioritising prudence to avoid another row.
