Drawing heavily on 'imported' talent
PARIS, July 7 — The French football team which is two steps away from everlasting glory has one thing in common with the English cricket team — both draw heavily on talented immigrants to enliven the show.
The French team, gearing up for its World Cup semifinal against Croatia, is dominated by immigrants or their descendants, the official World Cup diary lists 11 of the 22 players as non-French, with seven of Afro-Pacific origin.
As it is evident in England, immigrants from former colonies take pride in representing national teams than the locals, who seem to have lost the edge over the years.
The most notable is star playmaker Zinedine Zidane. Born to Algerian parents he has made Marseille his home and become a proud son of the southern port city. Affectionately called ‘Zizou’, the member of Italian league champions juventus has proved the backbone of the French team.
"He is so close to our feelings, he represents us", says Khedidja who runs a cafe in Paris. She is one of the three million immigrants from the former French colony. "When Zizou is playing, I feel more French than the French."
Zidane’s huge posters and advertisements are all over France giving the immigrants a new national pride. "His fame compensates for our sufferings. To see him being the most famous man in france makes us feel proud. He represents the aspirations of the huge immigrant population here," she adds.
The tall and well-set Marcel desailly, fulcrum in the watertight French defence and regarded one of the best in the world was born in Ghana. The Ac Milan star moved to France as a child with his family.
Immigrant power is not restricted to France alone. The Netherlands have remained a world power thanks to players of Surinamese origin like Patrick Kluivert, Edgar Davids and Clarence Seedorf, heirs to Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkard.
Japan have the Brazilian Lopez to add flair to their method, German-born Thomas Dooley has gone on to lead the USA.
But the influence is more prominent in the French ranks. Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieria comes from Senegal. Born in Dakar, he migrated with his family. The 25-year-old was drafted into the Arsenal squad on the recommendation of their French coach Arsene Wenger.
In any other team, Christian Karembu would be starting all the games. The problem of plenty in the French mid-field has forced coach Aime Jacquet to use the Real Madrid star as a super substitute. Born in New Caledonia in the South Pacific, his name in Kanak language means "angry man".
David Trezeguet is yet to emerge the answer to French scoring problems, but being the son of a former Argentine player in France, people look for a Deigo Maradona in him. He starred for France at the 1997 World Youth Cup after he was not selected for Argentina.
Second choice goalkeeper Bernard Lama of English club West Ham United, was born in the French Guyana. The oldest member of the present squad at 35, he would have policed the goal but for Fabien Barthez’s outstanding form with Monaco.

Defender Lilian Thuram, strikers Thierry Henry and Diomede Bernand were born and brought up in France, but are of African descent. The 26-year-old Thuram has been a pillar of strength with Italian Serie A side Parma to be hailed as one of world’s best defenders by the demanding Italian media.
Striker Robert Pires is more popular in Portugal than in France. Born to Spanish and Portuguese parents, the Fc Metz player in the French first division has impressed Jacquet, and is expected to move to Marseille Fc after the World Cup.
Probably because it is not a pure "French" team, prior to the World Cup the national squad received little attention in the French media, which predicted it would be a miracle if France got past the second round.
The public reaction over the French national team was quite sober till the hosts came through the nerve-wracking penalty shootout against Italy in the quarterfinal.
But to the amazement of many locals, 40,000 people gathered on the Champs Elysee, the most coveted boulevard in Europe, to celebrate the French victory.
It was not isolated as 25,000 people assembled in Marseille to celebrate the victory. Thousands greeted and hugged each other over the French entry into the semi-final in almost all the cities in France.
"The French team is fulfiling our aspirations. Even the celebrated star Michael Platini is the son of Italian immigrants.
"If France wins the World Cup, it will trigger a new revolution, this time in favour of the poorly treated immigrants," says an optimistic Farid Ismail, who works in a restaurant near the world famous opera.

Coach Blazevic has the last laugh
Vittel (france), July 7 — With his Gendarme’s cap by his side, a cigarette in his hand and spectacles giving him the air of a university professor, there is no mistaking Croatia’s coach Miroslav Blazevic.
Always with an opinion, a smile or a scowl, Blazevic has become one of the true characters of the 1998 World Cup.
Back home in Croatia, "Ciro" is riding high, credited as being the man who has masterminded his country’s rise to the last four in the World Cup.
He hasn’t always been so popular.
Less than a year ago, the demanding Croatian footballing public were calling for his head after poor performances in the qualifying stage meant Croatia had to play off with Ukraine for a place in France.
He had first come under fire after he fielded a second string side against Portugal in Euro ’96. Croatia lost 3-0 and the result meant they had to face Germany in the quarterfinals, a game they subsequently lost.
His darkest hour came in 1995 when he spent two weeks in a French jail while being investigated for fraud at a time when French football was wracked with fraud allegations. He was cleared of involvement.

Prior to taking over the reigns of the national team in 1994, he had been coach of among others, Croatia Zagreb, Grasshoppers Zurich and France’s Nantes after his playing career had been cut short at the age of 26 by a knee injury.
The newly independent Croats had a number of coaches with international experience and sought to team them up with Blazevic.
A temperamental man with a strong personality, Blazevic has been unable to share the responsibility for his side with anyone.
His first two years in charge saw a series of conflicts, with first technical director Tomislav Ivic and then assistant coach Otto Baric leaving.
Blazevic fought on, helped by his close personal friendship with Croat president Franjo Tudjman, a politician not afraid to make his views on the game known to the soccer authorities.
Now solely in charge, Blazevic has come into his own, producing a final four side from a team that few fancied to make it beyond the second round.
Many put his success down to his motivational skills.
"His secret is that he has an inner-communication with the players," says Croatian Football Federation President Branko Miksa, who stood by Blazevic while he was under fire.
"He is like a psychologist, he understands the players’ psyche and he has a great knowledge of football. He is able to combine the two to achieve these results," Miksa added.

The team spirit Blazevic has created is also credited as being a key factor in the Croat success.
"We have a number of players here like (Aljosa) Asanovic for example, who have not had a good season with their clubs," says Miksa, "but he has been able to stimulate those players to be part of a team and work as a team".
Blazevic’s psychological approach goes beyond the usual pep talks. He admits to being a deeply superstitious man and regularly consults astrological charts prior to games.
One superstition he has maintained since before the second round clash with Romania is to carry with him the Gendarme’s cap, or "kepi".
"The local Gendarme chief gave it to me," said Blazevic, explaining the permanent presence of the "kepi" which he takes with him wherever he goes.
"He wanted me to keep it with me to bring luck to the policeman who was beaten by the hooligans in Lens".
A Gendarme was beaten almost to death by German hooligans in Lens on June 21, a crime that shocked all of France.

Croatian fans left penniless
Vittel, July 7 — They may be having the time of their lives but for a number of Croatian fans in France their team’s success has left them penniless and without a roof over their heads.
Croatia’s shock 3-0 win over Germany sent the team into the semifinals where they will meet the host country, meaning a longer than expected stay in France for the raucous fans who have followed the Croatians throughout the tournament.
The eastern town of Vittel, home to the team during the tournament, is now also playing host to scores of Croat fans, some of whom no longer have the money to pay for lodgings.
Goran (22), a student in the United States, spent Sunday night sleeping rough in Vittel’s central park.
"I knew that we would get through the group stage and I hoped we would win in the second round but I never expected to reach the semifinals," he said while sitting next to his rucksack, breakfasting on a tin of sardines and a baguette.
"I had hoped to have a summer holiday back in Croatia but I am completely broke now," he added.
Goran was part of a group of around 100 Croat fans who bought into a package deal for the three group games. Like many he has been hitchhiking and sleeping rough since the second round.
On Sunday night, around 30 Croatian fans, some of whom confessed to being penniless, gathered in a Vittel bar where they mingled with Croatian players.

The players bought drinks and chatted with the supporters, a practice encouraged by the Croatian Football Federation (HNS).
"The players are very close to the fans," says HNS spokesman Darko Tironi, "it is one of the reasons why there is such a fantastic atmosphere in our camp. They appreciate them for their enthusiasm".
This appreciation is not limited to words and a couple of beers.
"Some players have given them money which the fans use for tickets or for a room," said Tironi.
The fans, constantly decked out in their team’s unique red and white chequered shirts, believe few supporters enjoy such close relationship with their idols.
"Can you imagine Italian or English players coming into a bar and buying drinks for their fans and mixing with them like this?" said one fan, who added Croatian coach Miroslav Blazevic had given him a ticket for the quarter-final.
The already strained budgets of the Croat fans will be stretched further should the team defeat France tomorrow and make it to the final on July 12.
But, however hard it might be for the fans, they aren’t planning on hitching a lift home yet.
"I am staying until the end," says Kreso from Zagreb. "After all that has happened I just cannot imagine us losing. I’m here until July 12".

Tendulkar, Ganguly in record stand
Colombo, July 7 — Sachin Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguly cracked exciting centuries in a world record opening stand of 252 runs to propel India to 307 for six wickets against Sri Lanka in the final of the Independence Cup Triangular Cricket Series at the Premadasa Stadium today.
Tendulkar struck his 17th one-day hundred with a masterly 128 to draw level with former West Indian opener Desmond Haynes’s record number of centuries and passed the significant milestone of 7000 runs in aggregate to climb to the fifth spot in the all-time list.
Ganguly cracked his fourth hundred with a polished 109 as the two held total sway over the Sri Lankan attack on a good batting track after skipper Azharuddin won the toss and elected to bat. India set a tough asking rate of 6.16 for Sri Lanka to chase under floodlights.
Tendulkar, who took just 106 balls to reach his century entertained the packed crowd in his 131-ball knock, peppered with eight fours and two sixes while Ganguly faced 138 balls, striking six fours and two huge sixes.
Both made their exit off successive balls in the slog overs, but Ajay Jadeja (25) and Robin Singh (15) in a blistering 35-run stand took India past the 300-run mark.
Umpire b.c. cooray made a glaring error declaring Robin Singh run out at the non-strikers end without consulting the third umpire when television replays showed bowler Jayasuriya had disturbed the stumps without the ball in hand.
Tendulkar, playing in his 196th match (189th innings) has taken considerably fewer matches than Haynes (238 m, 237 i) in levelling the latter’s record.
The Indian openers had their task cut out in building a huge total to put the fight beyond the hosts, but they clearly looked capable of setting a much bigger target than the 308 they eventually did.

Tendulkar took off in a typically whirlwind fashion and crossed his 50 off only 39 balls and achieved 7000 runs in his one-day career when he reached 58.
Only Haynes (8648), Mohd Azharuddin (8285), Aravinda de Silva (7500) and Javed Miandad (7381) are ahead after he went past Salim Malik (6884).
Sri Lankan skipper Arjuna Ranatunga was at his wits end as he had used six bowlers by the halfway mark when India were comfortably perched at 152.
Ganguly managed to keep pace with Tendulkar and run hard between the wickets as the two overhauled the Indian opening record partnership of 188, established by Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Ravi Shastri against England in Cuttack in the 1984-85 series.
They brought up the 200 in the 36th over, but the run rate which at one stage was well over the seven-run mark fell below six as both batsmen slowed down considerably in the hot and humid conditions with their centuries well in sight.
Tendulkar hit De Silva for a couple to reach his hundred in the 35th over while Ganguly, a trifle lucky to survive a confident caught behind appeal down the leg side off Kumara Dharmasena when on 98, clinched it in the 42nd over.
They brought up the 250 but fell soon after, Tendulkar missing a big heave off Jayasuriya for Kaluwitharna to effect a close stumping and Ganguly tapping back a leading edge to Muralitharan the first ball of the next over.
Skipper Mohd Azharuddin (5) was unlucky as he played on to leg spinner Upul Chandana, the attempted flick recocheting off his front foot onto the stumps.
Jadeja (25), who smote Dharmasena for two big sixes in the 48th over in his 15-ball cameo, with Robin Singh — who swept Muralitharan for two fours — gave the late momentum to the innings.
Robin Singh was adjudged run out by Cooray himself when he looked to be out of position and television replays showed Jayasuriya had failed to collect the ball and disturbed the stumps with empty hands.
Ajit Agarkar (5) was run out off the last ball while Hrishikesh Kanitkar (5) remained unbeaten.

Hectic life of former stars
Paris, July 7 — The secret royalty of the World Cup are men in great haste — rushing from appointment to appointment, constantly smiling into yet another TV camera, and always, always in demand.
At France ’98, life is anything but easy for former footballing greats Franz Beckenbauer, Pele and Michel Platini. These big three of the international football scene are the jetsetters and big-time money earners — at this World Cup.
Beckenbauer even had to convene a conference of all his sponsors to try to achieve better coordination of all his obligations, while Pele had to give up a Cabinet post in Brazil in order to be able to meet his commitments for France ’98.
Platini, the World Cup co-organiser, you see nowadays wearing dark glasses even in overcast weather in the morning, trying to conceal eyes which have become red from all the stress.
Beckenbauer has now gotten a small break, ironically thanks to the elimination of Germany in the quarterfinals. His own TV programme Schau’n Mer Mal — Bavarian dialect for let’s see what happens, which became his trademark comment when he was Germany’s national coach — had its final show on Sunday evening.
But Germany’s famous football Kaiser still has a lot of work to do at France ’98, and his many appointments have him constantly on the run.
Long-time business manager Robert Schwan had convened two meetings of sponsors at a tavern in Beckenbauer’s home town of Kitzbuehel in the Austrian Alps before the World Cup to plan the logistics for all the appearances which the former football great was scheduled to make in France.

According to the news magazine Der Spiegel, one result of those meetings was that the sponsors had to come up with a private jet for Beckenbauer to enable him to fly back home to Kitzbuehel now and then to rest up during the month-long tournament.
He’s a darling of the sponsors — Beckenbauer earns an estimated $ 5.5 million a year through commercial endorsements — but the German football celebrity, who is also president of the prestige club Bayern Munich, has to work hard.
Among others, Beckenbauer must make appearances for the private pay-TV channel Premiere, for the media giant Bertelsmann, for the marketing company UFA, the carmaker Opel, the Warsteiner Brewery, the cellular phone company E-Plus, the sporting goods company Adidas and even a company which makes screws. He also writes a column for the mass-circulation newspaper Bild .
Opel is also the main sponsor of Bayern Munich, and Beckenbauer has his own spearate five-year contract, which puts him in special obligation to the company at the World Cup — among other duties being to accompany Opel executives to football matches, make small talk with some of the company’s big-time customers, and shake hands.
Former Brazilian footballing great Pele, with whom Beckenbauer once played on the same team — the New York Cosmos — back in the late 1970s, also cannot complain about too much idle time.
Interviews, autograph sessions, TV shows and many other appointments fill up Pele’s days at France ’98. Pele is marketed by his own management company, and he has his own daily TV show called Pele Moments which is sold in 50 countries.
The 57-year-old is also on hire for the Brazilian broadcaster Globo , for the sporting goods maker Umbro and for the credit card company Mastercard, whom he has been representing for seven years.
Platini, captain of France’s 1984 European championship team, is constantly on the move in an official function as co-chairman of the World Cup Organising Committee, and in the VIP lodge he sits between French President Jacques Chirac and Premier Lionel Jospin.
As agile as he was on the playing field, Platini is finding it hard to scramble from one appointment to the next and bear ultimate responsibility for everything at France ’98.
Appearing nervous, fatigued and hectic at the same time, Platini now admits that he’s looking forward to the end of the tournament, during which so far he has attended no fewer than 44 matches held throughout the country.
"I won’t be unhappy when it’s all over", said Platini.

Sampras unbeatable at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, July 7 — The only predictable thing about men’s tennis these days is that Pete Sampras is untouchable at Wimbledon.
"Now I guess I’m out of my slump," Sampras said after his 6-7 (7-2), 7-6 (11-9), 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 victory over Goran Ivanisevic in the final, his fifth Wimbledon title in six years.
Two weeks on grass was enough to lift Sampras back to his dominant best and elevate him a notch higher on the list of all-time greats.
He tied Bjorn Borg for the most Wimbledon titles in the modern era and moved within one victory of Roy Emerson’s all-time record of 12 grand slam championships, equalling Borg and Laver with 11.
If they played more slams on grass, Sampras would surely be way ahead by now.
"I’m probably more comfortable on this court than any court in the world," he said. "With the surroundings, and the ball kids and everything, it just seems like it’s comfortable. It’s like my practice court. I’ve played a lot of big matches on that court and when you’re comfortable playing somewhere, you’re going to play well."

No kidding. Since 1992, Sampras has won 44 matches and lost two at Wimbledon.
"If there’s one thing that elevates my tennis, it’s this place, the court, the historical meaning that this tournament has to me as a kid growing up," he said. "It’s not easy each week you play on the tour to get motivated, and I have no problem getting motivated for this one."
Sampras was eight years old when Borg won his fifth straight title in 1980.
"As a kid when I saw Borg’s five, I never thought that I would be a position to tie it," he said. "It’s a little overwhelming to think about it."
Sampras plans to savor this victory before thinking about going after Emerson’s mark.
"When the US Open comes around, I’ll be thinking about trying to achieve another goal," he said. But I feel like I’ve got a lot of good years left in me, that I can do it, and it’s a number out there that I feel like I can achieve."
Sampras’ victory further enhanced his status as the greatest player of his generation. Whether he is the greatest of all-time remains a matter of debate.
"I put him in the godlike stratosphere with Laver and Borg," former three-time champ John McEnroe said. You have to put those people in the upper echelon. It’s hard to say who is the best."
Laver twice achieved the grand slam, sweeping all four majors in the same year. Borg won the French Open six times, but never won the US or Australian Opens.
The knock on Sampras is that he has never won the French, the only grand slam event played on clay. He’s never been past the semifinals in Paris, and last month lost in the second round to little known Ramon Delgado.
In addition to his Wimbledon titles, Sampras has won the US Open four times and the Australian twice.
"I guess it’s possible to go a notch higher," McEnroe said.
"It would be more easy to argue he’s the best if he won (the French)."
The match turned Sampras’ way in the second-set tiebreaker, when Ivanisevic twice missed backhand passing shots that would have put him ahead two sets to love.
"I felt the match slipping away in the breaker," Sampras said. "I thought god, this could be Goran’s year."
Even after Sampras took the second and third sets, Ivanisevic pushed him to the limit before wilting in the fifth.
"Compared to all the finals I’ve played, this is by far the toughest," Sampras said. "It was just a couple of points here and there. I was able to raise my level just a litle bit in the fifth set. The next thing I knew I won the match. It was kind of a weird feeling."

England tailenders force draw
MANCHESTER, July 7 — England tail-ender Angus Fraser is not usually noted for his batting but he was a hero with the bat yesterday after holding out to salvage a draw in the third cricket Test against South Africa.
Fraser and Robert Croft saved England from an almost certain defeat by surviving seven overs against a South African bowling attack which only needed one wicket to win at Old Trafford.
South Africa posted a first innings total of 552 for five declared, then bowled England out for 183 and sent the home side back in England were one wicket from defeat at 369 for nine in their second innings.
Fraser and Croft survived for long enough to ensure the Proteas did not get to bat again or take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the five-Test series.
Fraser, the No.11 batsman, survived 13 balls from a rampant Allan Donald and proved to be South Africa’s stumbling block.
Donald, carrying the burden of a depleted attack, bounced out Darren Gough after the No.10 had helped Croft stem a lower order collapse.
Gough and Croft had batted for 78 minutes until Donald, returning for a final burst with the third new ball, dismissed Gough.
The last pair joined forces with England still needing two runs to avoid an innings defeat and Croft deftly pushed Ntini to point and scampered for two to level the scores.
But South African captain Hansie Cronje said it was the partnership between his English counterpart Alec Stewart and Mike Atherton which saved England.
"We’re disappointed we couldn’t force a win particularly after two and three-quarter days in the field but we gave it our best shot," Cronje said after the match.
Stewart hit a brilliant 164 to top score in England’s second innings and shared a 226-run partnership with Mike Atherton which gave his side a fighting chance.
The third wicket pair came together with England reeling at 11 for two, and batted for more than five hours and 83 overs before being separated.
Atherton had stonewalled for more than six hours for 89, but gave South Africa a hard-earned breakthrough with an uncharacteristic hook off Jacques Kallis in the first session yesterday.
But Stewart’s dismissal was more critical after he had batted magnificently and boldly for 418 minutes.
Stewart’s unblemished 317-ball innings ended with another unnecessary hook. It sparked a middle-order collapse which threatened to give South Africa the win it deserved.
Regardless of his impetuosity, it was a heroic knock the highest in Test history by a captain-wicketkeeper. He hit 24 boundaries, three of them in one over from Ntini, who was celebrating his 21st birthday.
Donald, pumped up by Stewart’s wicket, knocked back Graham Thorpe’s off stump with a yorker as he took 2-0 in four balls.
After Atherton’s fall, Stewart and Mark Ramprakash, 34 runs in over three hours, continued to frustrate the Proteas.
England were 323 for six at tea and a long way from making South Africa bat a second time.

Donald, struck twice from the Warwick Road end, trapping Ramprakash lbw with the second ball after the break and in the next over had Ashley Giles caught by substitute Brian McMillan at second slip.
It was an outstanding display of fast bowling by Donald, who took a career 50 wickets against England with his 13th five-wicket haul.
Donald, with six for 88, took his series tally to 19 wickets in three Tests and 51 for the 1998 calendar year in nine Tests.
Only Sri Lankan off spinner Muttiah Muralidharan has taken more wickets 52 in seven matches at 19.96.
South Africa’s innings was highlighted by a career-best 210 by veteran opener Gary Kirsten and an equally fine 132 by man-of-the-match Jacques Kallis.
Kallis, also chipped in with four wickets in the two England innings.

Will red cards dominate?
PARIS, July 7— When Brazil and the Netherlands kick off the first World Cup semifinal today, fans will ensure that Marseille’s Stade Velodrome is a sea of yellow and orange.
But the dominant colour of the match could just as easily be red.
Three of the last five matches at the World Cup have been effectively determined by those little red cards which referees keep - or do not keep - in their pockets.
The sendings off of David Beckham, Ariel Ortega and Christian Woerns proved to be the turning point of each of the three games and probably sealed the fate of their teams — England, Argentina and Germany respectively.
All three former world champions went out after being reduced to 10 men.
No one need be surprised if the Brazil-Dutch encounter or the France v Croatia semifinal tomorrow - not to mention Sunday’s final — is also determined by one solitary but far-reaching decision by the man in the middle.

The fans may debate whether Ronaldo, Dennis Bergkamp, Zinedine Zidane or Davor Suker will be the player to single-handedly change the course of a game.
The names of the equally influential Ali Mohamed Bujsaim and Jose Maria Garcia Aranda are unlikely to get a mention. Bujsaim of the United Arab Emirates and Garcia Aranda of Spain will officiate at the semifinals.
To be fair to referees — and not everyone is — there has been little criticism from neutral observers about the last three red cards as there was justification for all of them.
Beckham clearly kicked Argentine captain Diego Simeone in retaliation after being fouled. Ortega head-butted Dutch keeper Erwin Van Der Sar and Woerns made a crude late tackle on Croatian striker Davor Suker.
A record 20 red cards have been shown at the 1998 finals and only two of the players dismissed have finished on the winning team — Zidane and Dutch defender Arthur Numan.
In each case, a member of the opposing team was also sent off and so their side did not finish with inferior numbers.
Zidane went off in France’s 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia but so did Mohammed Al-Khilaiwi. Numan went off in the quarter-final with Argentina but Ortega followed him and the Dutch ended up 2-1 winners.
While the drastic influence of red cards is clear in the knockout stages, it also had a dramatic effect on some group games.
South Korea were leading 1-0 against Mexico when Ha Seok-Ju, their goalscorer, was shown a red. The Koreans lost.
Belgium were beating Mexico 2-0 when Gert Verheyen was given his marching orders. The Mexicans fought back for a 2-2 draw.
Bujsaim, referee of the Brazil-Netherlands semifinal, sent off Scot Craig Burley in a group match with Morocco.
Garcia Aranda, who officiates at the France v Croatia clash, has not yet flashed a red card in anger at the finals in two matches.
Most neutrals would prefer it to stay that way with matches finishing with 11 on each team.
France play in red socks, Croatia in red-and-white chequered shirts.
That’s enough red for one match.

Former coach has heart attack
PARIS, July 7 — Rinus Michels, a former trainer of the Dutch national football team, suffered a heart attack while at the World Cup and was taken to a Paris hospital late Saturday, FIFA spokesman Keith Cooper disclosed yesterday.
Cooper said Michels (70) suffered the heart attack after watching on television the Saturday afternoon quarterfinal match in which Netherlands beat Argentina 2-1.
"His condition is now stable", Cooper said about Michels, who was taken to the Cochin clinic in Paris. Michels must remain in hospital for a number of days.
"Michels, who had a heart bypass operation 15 years ago, is attending the World Cup as a member of FIFA's Technical Commission.
"Michels coached the Dutch national team which was runner-up to Germany at the 1974 World Cup, and later led the Dutch to their 1988 European Championship title.

Brazil, France to earn most
PARIS, July 7 — Players from France and Brazil stand to earn the most from winning the World Cup.
The French team have been promised the equivalent of $ 220,000 per man if they win football’s most coveted prize and half that amount if they finish runners-up.
French players are already assured of a $ 34,000 bonus for gaining a semifinal berth against Croatia on Wednesday 9.
Brazil has agreed to pay the team $ 166,000 if they win the final for the fifth time on July 12.
But the South Americans first have to take care of Holland in Tuesday’s first semi-final.
The Dutch can look forward to a reward of $ 110,000 each for a final victory, while the Croatians have already been promised $ 105,000 for reaching the semifinal.v

German police arrest suspect
BONN July 7 (Reuters) — German police today arrested a man suspected of taking part in the assault on French policeman Daniel Nivel outside a World Cup stadium in Lens last month.
Prosecutors said police swooped on the man’s home in Hamburg early yesterday morning. An arrest warrant has been issued accusing the 24-year-old of attempted murder and causing serious injury.
The prosecutors said the man, whom they did not name, had been brought before a judge to confirm his arrest and questioned by investigators. He said he had been close to the scene of the brutal attack on June 21 but denied assaulting Nivel.
"He is, however, heavily implicated by witnesses and photographs of the crime," the prosecutors’ statement said.
Nivel, a 43-year-old father of two, has been in a coma since the attack by a gang of hooligans in Lens for Germany’s group match against Yugoslavia.
German media reports have quoted witnesses as saying Nivel was beaten with a rifle butt, beer bottle and wooden post. Two Germans, Markus Warneke of Hanover and Karl-Heinz Eschner of Braunschweig, have already been detained in France and charged with taking part in the brutal assault.
Police had questioned two men in Germany, including one in Hamburg, late last month about the attack but released them, saying they did not have enough evidence to make charges.
The prosecutors did not say in their statement whether the Hamburg man arrested yesterday is the suspect they previously questioned. No one responded to telephone enquiries at the prosecutors’ offices.
