Historic, unreal, crazy… there are no words to describe the historic victory of the French team on Saturday evening, against Gibraltar (14-0). In Nice, in front of his home crowd, Jean-Clair Todibo did not have much to do in central defense and was above all at the forefront of a success that has become legendary. And justly. After the match, the former TFC player recounted how the Blues moved with the aim of breaking the 1995 record and a 10-0 against Azerbaijan.
“We respected the instructions, which were to respect the opponent. We played at our level of football, it gives this result. Before the match started, we weren’t aware (of the record), we weren’t focused on that. But at half-time we said ‘why not’. We had the means, we did it, it’s good for us. We had to stay focused, not give the opponent the chance to hope… even if at one point, I don’t think there was much hope anymore. We couldn’t let the opponent score to keep the clean sheet once again, that was the objective.”, explains Todibo. He finishes : “After Germany I wanted to taste this jersey again and with the victory, we want to play even more”.
