In a rare scene, a defense player, Zoulis Goudi, quickly became a hot topic of discussion as he wore a gold chain on the field during France's match against Poland in the round of 16 knockout round of the World Cup. France coach Diegans recently revealed that the star, who plays for Barcelona, is also used to wearing a gold chain during training as he believes it brings good luck.
Zulis Goudi was not spotted wearing a gold chain by fans until after half-time in the match against Poland. According to the rules of the game, players are not allowed to wear any necklaces, watches or other items on the field. Deegans said, "Zulis Goudi shouldn't have done that, I thought he had removed it before the game, it was a mistake by our team. Zulis Goudi is very superstitious and he usually wears that gold chain in training ......"
Zulis Goudi has been involved in three of the four matches at this World Cup, starting against Denmark and Poland. With rumors of discord between Banjeevon Berwart and Deegans, Zulis Goudi's place in the team looks even more secure.
