A few days ago, Nicolas Tagliafico, the freshly minted world champion with Argentina, shocked the fans of the Polish national team. The defender admitted during the broadcast on Twitch that during the group match of the World Cup with Poland, one of our players was to ask the Argentines to stop attacking. “After our first goal, they didn’t want to play anymore. When we scored the second goal, around the 60th minute, one of the Poles said to me, as best he could in Spanish: “Don’t attack again, please!” Another goal could eliminate them – he said, which we wrote more about ->>> .
Zbigniew Boniek alarms after the words of Tagliafico. “This is disqualifying”

I don’t want to talk about it too much, because if it comes to FIFA, they can start an investigation. Behavior such as persuading the rival to stop attacking is not only against the spirit of fair play competition, but is even subject to disqualification if it was known exactly which our player was encouraging the Argentine – he said.
Earlier, Zbigniew Boniek revealed that he guesses which of our representatives is exactly in question. In an interview with Roman Kołtoń on the “Prawda Futbolu” channel, he said that the situation in question could be detected during the match. “I even know what minute it was and where it happened. In the middle of the field. If someone sees it, it’s a dialogue when one of the Polish footballers approaches Tagliafico and covers his mouth – he said, which we reported ->>>.
