    quickly translated interviews from french papers

    ------

    After the game, Jean-Pierre Escalettes saw "a sad man" in the cloakroom. "I do not have an explanation to ask him, explained the president of the FFF. The gesture of Zidane did not have an influence on the final result. I neither want to judge or blame him, he's a sad and affected man, one should not shoot at the artist ".
    According to Raymond Domenech, on TF1: "we missed him during the twenty last minutes already. That weighed heavy in the balance. It's too bad".

    In a previous interview with Canal +, the coach had been more reserved. "To make him end this way, it's sad. He had a great career, a great world cup. When one takes blows like he did for 1h20 and the referee says nothing, one can understand. You can't excuse, but you can understand".
