 Re: Zid Vicious
I think context is everything in this matter.
As Walter says "Remember Zidane was probably very tense. His last international, a World Cup final, the possibility of penalties, he had already had to change his mind for one earlier in the game and only just converted, perhaps he was thinking of where he would put his next penalty, he had also fairly recently missed an opportunity to score, he was probably exhausted."
Given all that and his obvious mental exhaustion it's easy to see why he flipped. The same words to him on another occasion would have had no impact. |
