Before becoming the hero of an entire nation by scoring twice once morest Brazil in the 98 World Cup final, Zinedine Zidane had received a red card during the group stage once morest Saudi Arabia for a bad gesture that he will have taken a long time to recognize…
Concluded in apotheosis, the 1998 World Cup might have come to an end for Zinedine Zidane. Without the golden goal scored at the end of extra time by Laurent Blanc in the round of 16 once morest Paraguay, the tricolor playmaker’s tournament might have ended in the second match once morest Saudi Arabia. Blame it on his exclusion following a bad move on Amin.
“Zinédine, it’s unforgivable, Didier Deschamps reacted immediately following the match once morest the Saudis. We know he’s an impulsive player but hey, he’s going to condemn us in two or three games, I think he’s going to take them. Knowing the importance that Zidane has in our game, it is an important asset that we lose. » Aimé Jacquet, who the very morning of the match had asked his players and in particular his number 10 to control their nerves, is just as upset. “When we commit a regrettable act, we must expect to pay dearly for it”he had launched.
I did not commit a fault
Zinedine Zidane had very badly experienced this lack of support from his coach and his teammates. He did not hesitate to respond to them in the press, as pointed out The world. “It’s worse than disappointment”he had thus explained concerning the comments of his captain, a teammate at Juventus for two seasons. “He can think what he wants”he had also blown regarding Aimé Jacquet before advancing rather shaky explanations.
“I fell involuntarily on the Saudi, so I did not commit a fault”, he had thus affirmed. Twenty years later, ZZ will hold a completely different discourse, more in tune with reality. “Nobody is perfect, smiles the principal concerned regarding this incomprehensible red. I was not. I am not proud of what I have been able to do from time to time on the pitch. This gesture, when I crush the player, I am not proud. But we can’t change, it’s part of my life.”he confided in the TF1 documentary, “98, secrets of a victory”.
