How To Play Frustration Card Game With Uno Cards

France: anatomy of a flop


propose again (it's the last time I do it) an interesting interview with Sergio Manghi, Professor of Sociology at Parma and scholar of the dynamics of the French national team, which takes an argument already proposed the monthly Communitas directed by Aldo Bonomi.

Before the draw with Uruguay and then the defeat with Mexico eventually eradicating the small South Africa. These droplets that have overflowed the universe bleus . Anelka, because light in the dressing room, is forced out for insulting the coach aside, the old guard forces formations, at the mercy of events Domenech, Ribery is in tears on television to apologize, Gourcuff ostracized and banished to the bench, Evra fights with a preparer who leaves the team, the departure of some representatives of the Federation, President Sarkozy spoke tough on players, sports papers arrive insult in editorials, and finally strike of all the players who decide not to train. A psychodrama worthy of a novel. But it's just football? Maybe not. To better investigate a shipwreck sport that seems closely linked with the social reality we interviewed French Sergio Manghi , Professor of Sociology at Parma and author of " Zidane, anatomy of a header world" in which he proposes an alternative reading to 'expulsion of the French captain in the final in Berlin.

The cheering that the French national reserve, in contrast to the compound motto "allez les bleus" is unique, full of expectations and is a manifestation grandeur of the famous ...

Yes, I would say that what the French do granduer of lights, a very strong national pride that we Italians find it hard to understand. Ours is a parody. We believe and we do not believe. Their hand is a form of thought and creates high expectations. For the French this debacle is a disaster.
There are immigrés de banlieue (Ribery, Gallas, Anelka, for example), the nouveau immigrer (Evra, Diarra, Malouda) and the white "bourgeois" to Gourcuff. Debacle A daughter of a sort of generational warfare?
I speak about these ideas for the first time. Indeed it may be a clue interesting. There are different ways, in fact, to give value to French pride. For the older generation to fight for France was an honor that goes along with a resentment is not permissible. Zidane's living among those who represent the great nation and who can rise to that role only if very successful. When things go wrong, as now, are always the first to pay. But a system that led to a stronger affirmation of pride and a search more angry. The new generations of immigrants to the contrary, are daughters of a more European and world economy and therefore less hungry. With the "white middle class" is the difficulty in historical reality.

Above in the light of the fact that the French national is anything but French ...

Sure, as origins no doubt. If we look to the country is exactly the same thing. It continues to fuel the myth of the Great but France, for example in Paris, the non-Community population has exceeded that of France. Not only that, if we look at the succession of figures from the past president of De Gaulle, Mitterrand and Chirac to Sarkozy. One who is not of French origin "pure." Not only from a genetic perspective, but not style. More like our Berlusconi. He is a son of the society of the spectacle of a European or American society rather than following the fall of the wall Berlin. This also changed the perception of immigration and being immigrants. On one side are more obviously part of the context, but the pride of the other point of reference for the immigrer, weakens a bit 'for all. Malouda probably is not that a fighter could be like Vieira. Even less Gourcuff.

But why then Zidane, leader and symbol of the old guard and the old immigration, on the other accused of being the manager occult, has sided with Domenech criticizing the team?

Because according to his way of thinking have really wrong. Defended in some way yet the idea of \u200b\u200bpride that the world will remember this World Cup for the winner and the bad impression of France. Something that reflects the recent world. We remember the winner el'harakiri trans. This self-injury is always at hand for when the French "non-French" fail to ensure the victory have the nerves more vulnerable. The National

then, as usual, is the mirror of the country?

Yes, particularly of the country through immigration. As long as the nation is able to envisage the possible integration, as it was not until 10 years ago even though they were already lying, imagination there was still a dream. The children of the poor suburbs had already resigned, but the successful ones could imagine to play a role in this melting pot without betraying the suburbs. Today it is very difficult since there is hardly that great feeling français.

doing an exercise with the butt you should never do, even if there was Zidane in the team would be different?

I feel that Zidane is still a fit and that should correct the bad impression of 2006, perhaps he would find the rage right to want to redo. But realistically does not have the physical and I do not think that what happened would have the right incentives.

This is just a fantasy. If I wanted to be more Relist and thought to play a role as a man dressing, the Beckham?

one could be an idea. But you have to deal with the resentment of his fellow Illegal abandoned the better. Yes, officially there is solidarity, they say comprederlo and justifies it. But in reality a bit 'of incazzatura there was still there. Finding the authority after the head was not an easy thing. It is true that the French, when there is half of pride, are capable of telling lies considerable. They had the nerve to blame Materazzi again, finding an external enemy and firmness. Mourinho has learned from them.

In this Domenech seems to be the main culprit. Or maybe it really is.

No, it will just be the scapegoat ...

Well leave home names like Ben Arfa, Benzema, Nasri Mexes or unknown as to bring Gignac and Valbuena is a responsibility ...

What was a bizarre and unpredictable choices that did it was already known for some time. They wanted to keep them. The risk now is that giving all the blame on him. Another simplification. Before there was an external enemy as Materazzi, now a procedure. Always to avoid having to admit that you can lose. Clearly, for the French national pride is unacceptable.

She says the head of the 2006 is not an ordinary reaction but a deliberate coup de theater motivated by fear of defeat. That gesture will be remembered forever and then Zidane is a winner anyway. Today we can speak of a coup de theater on a collective level?

What's in common is not trivial. You can lose. But is there a way to lose that is common. We lose everything in life. Then there's the loss is not trivial that humanity remembered. This national one wishes to remember in an unconscious way. Certainly an exploit is not successful as that of Zidane, a gesture that was aesthetically beautiful and elegant, even by the time it was done under the eyes of all. Today is more of a racket. But respect the French idea narcissist: a nice change the fact that defeat is a defeat. This is the grandeur. The non-triviality. The non-trivial to resign. If we lose we need to do a lot of noise. They can not lose like Togo or Italy.
