Is loving disbelieving players disbelief?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : The players

The Shaykh : No, no, no. Do not bring this to us. This is all such that even if a Muslim loves someone because he succeeded in football, that is a love that is not for the sake of Allah.

The questioner : An open sinner

The Shaykh : Allah knows best.

The questioner : May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on living with disbelievers in the same residence?
