On both the occasions, his 'made up injury' allowed his teammates to rush to the sidelines to eat dates and drink water. When they played first against Portugal, he went down in the 58th minute with an 'injury' and in the next match against turkey he was seen with an injury in the 49th minute allowing his teammates to leave the pitch for food and water.
Both the matches ended in 2-2. The Tunisian sports reporters found out that both the injuries coincided with the sunset. Since this was exposed he has been constantly teased on Twitter which even includes his fellow footballer Chaker Alhadhur.
