After the historic defeat suffered by his selection on Saturday against the Blues (14-0), Gibraltar coach Julio Ribas did not answer questions from the media.
After such a suitcase, he probably didn’t have the energy to answer questions from the media. Heavily beaten by the France team (14-0), Saturday, in Nice, as part of the qualifications for Euro 2024, the coach of Gibraltar, Julio Ribas, did not appear at the press conference post-match. The reasons for his absence were not communicated.
A historic defeat
In its recent history, Gibraltar had never suffered such a correction. Before sinking at the Allianz Riviera, his biggest defeat was a 9-0 suffered in August 2017 against Belgium, including hat-tricks from Romelu Lukaku and Thomas Meunier. Facing the reigning world vice-champions, Roy Chipolina’s teammates were asphyxiated from the start and quickly reduced to ten, unable to contain the French waves.
