But with a lot of humility, you have to go back to work and it will be with Laurent Bonadeihe continues, aware that the Blue has missed their subject in front of the Germans. It is a real underperformance, it is the eighth time in the last nine major tournaments that France is eliminated at the level of the quarter-finals. »»
