Almost three years after the World Cup final lost to Argentina in Lusail (3-3, 4-2 TAB), the bitterness remains ambient French side. Asked about the possible desires of revenge against Albiceleste and Enzo Fernandez – who had pronounced racist remarks towards French players last summer after the coronation of his country in American Copa – William Saliba replied in the affirmative.
“For now, I haven't lost against him with Chelsea. So, yes, the revenge I took them with Arsenal on Chelsea. But it is clear that, of course that when a team beats you – even if I had not played against Argentina because I was on the bench – it's the same thing. When a team beats you, the only thing you expect is to replay them. And if we do things well and we qualify, I think we will have a way to take our revenge. If we come across them, of course it will be with pleasure that we will take our revenge. ” Relaunched on what differentiated France from the two alleged current favorites, Spain and Argentina, the ex-Marseillais replied “the trophies”. “What differentiates us from Argentina and Spain is that they won the Euro and the World Cup, but they don't scare us. I already hope that we will qualify and take our revenge at the World Cup. ”
