Hugo Lloris this Sunday could be the first captain to lift two World Cupsan honor that the French goalkeeper gives to the service of the team, which he considers ready to win the World Cup in front of everyone who believes that the Argentine Leo Messi deserved to win it.
“Messi is a great player, we all know what he represents for the history of this sport. But this is France-Argentina, there are more players. And we also want to write our own history”, said of the Tottenham goalkeeper.
Lloris assured that Argentina is “a very well organized team, strong in body, aggressive with the ball carriers and playing well on the offensive end”.
“Throughout its history there have always been big names, like Maradona or now Messi and that’s why it always raises a lot of expectations. But when you’re French it’s also important to play in the final of the World Cup,” he said .
For the goalkeeper, the success in 2018 should serve as inspiration, but nothing more, because “these are different times and situations.” “I have the privilege and pride of having won in 2018, but now I focus on the present, what happened before is gone. We want to finish this adventure as well as possible,” he asserted.
Lloris referred to the virus that affected some of his colleagues and assured that “despite this, you have to raise the level, improve yourself, to finish the job in the best way”. “The way in which we have faced the competition so far has worked well, there is no reason for tomorrow to stop happening. I think that the adrenaline generated by a final is enough for us to rise the level and achieve victory,” he said .
