But what happened? This Sunday, in the final of the Lafarge tournament in Limoges against Poland, the French U18 players of Bernard Diomède have completely lost control. In the space of 20 minutes, four French players were expelled: Ilyes Housni, author of the second French goal, saw red in the 55th minute of play, followed by Jeanuël Belocian (60th), Yoni Gomis (72nd).
Finally, Darnell Éric Bilé (75th), author of a nasty tackle then a headbutt in stride, took the last red of this horrible series. The referee was then obliged to whistle the end of the meeting, since the rules do not allow to play below 8 players in a team.
At the Beaublanc stadium, this match had already had a crazy start with four goals in the first period, including three in six minutes. Before the stoppage of the match, the young French trained by the 1998 world champion, Bernard Diomede, were led 3-2 by the Poles.
