Against Scotland, the Parisian scored a goal and an assist:
“He is very involved. You were worried, but I wasn’t. He behaved like a true captain on and off the field. He made a lot of effort, especially defensively. He needs this freedom that I give him. He was radiant like the French team in these two matches”declared the French coach at a press conference after the match.
