Marcelo Courrege, da Globo, bate boca com jornalista em coletiva da Copa

A press conference with Morocco national team player Brahim Díaz was interrupted by a verbal altercation between TV Globo journalist Marcelo Courrege and another member of the press. A video circulating on social media shows the two journalists arguing in French, with the other reporter accusing Courrege of hitting his hand, while Courrege claims the man was disrupting his recording. The discussion ended quickly, and the press conference continued, with Díaz even laughing at the situation. In a post on X, Courrege explained that the Moroccan reporter was very anxious to ask a question and kept raising his arm, invading the camera frame. Courrege said he asked him twice to stop, at which point the reporter began shouting and grabbed his arm, leading Courrege to react. He later apologized for the misunderstanding, and the other reporter also apologized. They hugged and took a photo, with Courrege noting the understandable tension surrounding Morocco's upcoming match against France.
