This man is Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, a Congolese supporter who has become a global icon. Disguised as Patrice Lumumba, hero of Congolese independence, remained during all the matches totally motionless, arm raised and gaze fixed, like a bronze statue braving the tumult of the stadium for 90 minutes. A symbolic gesture that nevertheless ended up cracking last night: after the cruel elimination of the DRC against Algeria, the man let a tear flow, remaining frozen in his solemn pose while his dreams of the final flew into the night. Well, he is paid by the Congolese federation, but still, pretty cool
