Koffi Kouao, formerly of Vizela, Moreirense, and Famalicão, sat on the ball, and the tantrum was captured live on television.
Koffi Kouao, an Ivorian player, was involved in an unusual incident before the Metz-Rennes match, in the 14th round of the French League.
The right-back, formerly of Vizela, Moreirense and Famalicão, sulked after learning he would be on the bench for the first time this season and refused to participate in the usual ball drills with the Metz substitutes.
The moment was captured live by Canal Plus, the channel responsible for broadcasting the game, and described by the reporter on duty.
Metz ended up being defeated by Rennes, and Koffi Kouao didn’t play a single minute in the match.
