Indian ink and gouache on paper for an illustration in this collection published in 1987 by Autrement. Also the cover of the reprint of this work published in 1998 by the same publisher. Signed. Text by Patrick Cauvin. A very beautiful and important drawing, to be compared with the hockey match between the Flèches noires of Paris and the Boulets rouges of Bratislava in La Foire aux Immortels.

It's not football any more; it's become something else: a merciless battle between players who have been "enhanced" using various methods and substances, and who risk their lives in every match. On the pitch, the teams clash with extreme aggression. Violence, serious injury and even death are now accepted. And there is no room for weakness; mistakes are not forgiven. Missing a pass, losing the ball, being outflanked by an opponent, conceding a goal - these are all punished immediately and severely. This is what has just happened to Brazil's number 14, who is holding his hands to his face. He probably couldn't stop the Uruguayan No9. Another player neutralised for good. As the referee looked on, he thought it was perfectly normal.
