當德約卡夫坐在看臺上觀看法國隊與巴西隊的比賽時,卻不想被他的俱樂部紐約紅牛隊抓了個正著。原因是他告訴球隊,他回國是為了解決家中出現的緊急情況。
球隊在德約卡夫在看臺上被認出以後表示:“德約卡夫告訴我們他必須離隊處理法國家中突然發生的嚴肅事件。他並沒有告訴我們任何他要去觀看世界盃比賽的事情。我們將儘快和他溝通這件事。”
在東區排名墊底苦苦掙扎的紅牛隊在同一天也有一場聯賽要打,然而他們同意了德約卡夫的請假。

NEW YORK, July 1 (Reuters) - Former France forward Youri Djorkaeff was caught out by his New York Red Bulls soccer team on Saturday when he was spotted at the France-Brazil World Cup quarter-final while supposedly attending a family emergency.
"We were told by Youri on Thursday that he had to leave the team and attend to an unexpected, serious family matter in France," the team, formerly known as the MetroStars, said in a statement after Djorkaeff was picked out in the crowd.
"As with any player in a situation like this, we granted his request with the understanding that he would rejoin the club immediately after the personal matter was resolved.
"At no point did Youri state that part of his trip was to attend the World Cup game between France and Brazil in Frankfurt, Germany or that he had any ill-feeling towards the organization.
"We will be addressing the situation with Youri as soon as possible."
France, world champions with Djorkaeff in 1998, beat Brazil 1-0 on Saturday to secure their place in the semi-finals.
Sitting in last place in Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference, the struggling Red Bulls were scheduled to play the New England Revolution on Saturday evening but granted Djorkaeff permission to miss the match and return home to France.
The 38-year-old has appeared in 13 games for the Red Bulls this season, scoring two goals.
