On the morning of July 2nd, in the round of 16 of the European Championship, France and Belgium were tied 0-0 at halftime. Petit expressed his anger during the halftime analysis.
Petit said, “France didn’t put enough pressure on Belgium, they didn’t press aggressively, allowing them to play their game.”
“I felt like running onto the pitch and giving a hairdryer treatment to each French international… for at least a few minutes.”
“I can’t comprehend it, and I’m very angry… why are we just watching the Belgian players find their rhythm… what exactly is our objective in this match?”
