Associated with Lucas Hernandez in the axis of the French defense during the victory (2-1) of the Blues against the Netherlands, Ibrahima Konaté held his position perfectly. Questioned by the L’Equipe channel at the final whistle, the Liverpool defender could only relish his team’s qualification for the next Euro in Germany. “We are very happy with what we accomplished on the field, for this qualification. It was still very surprising because I found at the end of the match that we weren’t any happier than that (laughs). Griezmann told us we had to celebrate. But I think there is so much rigor in our work and in what we want that what we have accomplished, we deserve it and we are proud, but we are focused on our next matches. Even if we are already qualified, it’s not over yet.”.
Relaunched on his association with the PSG player, the 24-year-old defender also highlighted a good understanding with his friends in the evening, despite everything showing a slight frustration over the conceded goal… “For a first, there was a lot of communication, it was quite nice. There was also Jonathan Clauss who is a new player with us. I’m really happy but also disappointed to have conceded this little goal. It breaks the continuity we had. It was a goal. I knew it was difficult, but we will try to set ourselves the objective of not conceding a goal in the next matches..
