Amine: “Piqué is a good person”
The team led by Samir Nasri and Jérémy Ménez was eliminated at the end of its third match, losing to the Argentinian Muchachos on American-style penalties (4-4, 4 tab to 5) in very contentious conditions. The last Argentine shooter first saw his shot stopped by the French goalkeeper, before the ball hit an element of the ceiling and finally fell into the cages. Way past the allotted time. The referee still validated the goal and awarded the victory to the Muchachos. Enough to provoke a lively controversy, a wave of indignant reactions on the networks and the anger of AmineMaTue.
-Seven months after this incident, the French streamer calmed things down alongside Gerard Piqué. “I’m on good terms with you,” he told her on his channel, before addressing his viewers: “Pique, he’s a good person. He’s a good person. He There were organizational problems but it was not fundamentally him, it was mainly people on his staff.”
“We hope to be able to do things together again”

So don't worry. We made certain changes because we want to constantly improve. Since the first day, we wanted you to be in the project. We wanted the French team to participate in the Kings World Cup. We understand the situation and we want to do better.
“It's ok because you don't have an ego. You can admit and say you're sorry because it was weird,” Amine replied, before Piqué concluded: “Sorry to everyone who been affected. We want to do things as best as possible.
