Adrien Rabiot was bad at the final whistle. Like its partners elsewhere. The Blues bowed 2-0 against Croatia in the quarter-final first leg of the League of Nations, showing a very bad image. And after the meeting, Rabiot wanted to be optimistic for the return.
“They put balloons in the back, they were falling back. They did the job, saved time and made their match but there will be a 2nd round on Sunday. We knew they were going to start hard. We were too wait -and -see sometimes. In the 2nd period it was better, they played lower but there were 2 goals late. They took over before. We are not shot down, we know that it is played on 2 games. Anything can happen. You have to be serene and keep your head high. There are surely players who will enter this eleven. We believe otherwise, we drop the crampons. Nothing is impossible. Two goals is going up. Their goalkeeper has made a very good match too, it must be highlighted. We will have to recover well too. We will have to put what we have put today, show the true value of the French team, and go beyond. We want to go to the Final Four. Everyone wants to leave “explained the Marseillais. The message has passed.
