The French Football Federation has lodged a formal complaint with the Argentine Football Federation in connection with the provocations of some players of the national team after the victory in the final of the Qatar World Cup and during graduation celebrations, and also for attacks through social media of some fans against French footballers.
The main one targeted by the French leadership is Emiliano Martinezwho is being questioned for asking for “a minute’s silence” a kylian mbappe during the party in the locker room of the Lusail Stadium in Doha and also during the caravan that the team held on Tuesday. On that occasion, the man from Mar del Plata exhibited a doll with the face of the top scorer of the World Cup, who scored him three goals in the final.
The Argentine goalkeeper has also been criticized for the gesture he made on Sunday when he distinguished himself with the Golden glovewith which FIFA rewards the best goalkeeper of the World Cup: he took the trophy with both hands, brought it close to his genitals and leaned his body forward.
“I wrote to my AFA counterpart. These excesses seem to me anomalous in the context of a sporting competition and I find them difficult to understand. This goes too far. ANDMbappé’s behavior was exemplary“, held Noël Le Graëtpresident of the FFF, in an interview with the Ouest-France newspaper.
The leader also expressed his concern and unease at the racial slurs and the provocations received from Argentine sympathizers some of the players of the team managed by Didier Deschamps.

The most hated man.
