Denmark-Tunisia, the Ferencvaros defender’s gesture could not go unnoticed. That “similarity” with Roma’s Dutchman
Not even three days have passed since the opening match of Qatar 2022, that we already register the first big surprise of this atypical World Cup. The defeat of Leo Messi’s Argentina – among the main favourites for the final victory – in the opener against Saudi Arabia is a result that will go down in history as one of the most sensational ever. And one that will hardly be forgotten. A sensational comeback, that of the Sons of the Desert. Courageous, even though before the match they looked like the designated victims against Lionel Scaloni’s Albiceleste champions.
After finding the lead with a penalty kick scored by Messi himself, Argentina were now convinced they had put the game on the line. And then came the reaction that nobody expected. First Al-Shehri’s equaliser, then Al-Dawsari’s eurogoal that made the numerous green-and-white fans explode with joy.
Denmark-Tunisia, Laidouni exults for… a slip
Maybe ‘charged up’ by the historic feat in Saudi Arabia, the Tunisians also took to the field with a knife between their teeth in the challenge against Denmark. And they managed to hold their own against one of the most in-form selections on the Old Continent, Denmark, who were unable to break the deadlock in the first half of the game. The ‘garra’ with which Tunisia approached this match was evident from the first minutes. In this sense, the exultation – in some ways exaggerated – with which he addressed his own fans after making a precise tackle on an opponent made the rounds of the web. Those who turned on the TV at that moment imagined that Tunisia had just scored. Instead it was just a slip…
So for no reason after one minute.

A gesture that reminded some of the joy of Roma player Karsdorp, now in total disfavour with José Mourinho, after ‘winning’ a throw-in against Napoli
