The French team never ceases to impress. After a first round concluded with three victories in three matches, the Blues continued with another poor success against Sweden in the round of 16. Enough to consolidate their favorite status in the eyes of many observers.
The French players are also very confident for the future. “From the bench, when we see what’s happening up front, we know that nothing can happen to us,” said Malo Gusto after the match against the Scandinavians, adding: “We know that we have a lot of quality in the team, especially up front, so that’s nice. That’s great, but we still have to keep our feet on the ground and stay focused on what we have to do. And then, I think it will be fine…”
The offensive power of the Blues was also highlighted by Aurélien Tchouameni. “When we look at the offensive potential we have, in the history of football, it’s very rare…, he pointed out. We enjoy watching them play. We try to do everything to put them in the best possible condition. They make the job easier. »
Didier Deschamps already turned towards Paraguay
With the Swedish obstacle having just been overcome, Didier Deschamps was already looking ahead. “We had some margin even if we could have been more effective in the first half. We have to appreciate it, and we know that in four days there is another match. But that’s what we’re here for, that’s what the players are there for. There is another step to take”he indicated.
“This one is crossed. But you have to appreciate it all the same. We have a good state of mind, there is a lot of pride. We have to keep this concentration, this determination. There is obviously quality and talent, and we have to do it again in four days,” insisted the French coach.
