France will face the Spanish team in the first of its Euro Cup semifinals on July 9 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Two teams with very different evolutions in the tournament. La Roja is the one who scored the most goals and faced the one who happened to have the least score, France, with only 3 goals and two of them were own goals. It is for that very reason, as he warned Youssouf Fofanayou have to walk carefully.
Spain: “With the Spaniards, the danger can come from anywhere. The two youngsters Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal are having a great season. I hope they don’t play on Tuesday (he clarified that it was a joke).”
Dembélé, soul of the locker room: “I don’t want to say he’s a clown, he’s not here to entertain the gallery. But as soon as he opened, everyone laughed. He’s a very unifying person, it’s important to have him in the group.”
The key to penalties: “Chess made us advance in this aspect of the game.”
The pass to the semifinals: “It was a moment of relief. With it being 0-0, the more time passes, the more pressure there is. We want to score, no matter who pushes the ball into the back of the net.”
Manager Deschamps: “You try to talk to the whole group, without having to have time to do it individually for each player. It suits me very well.”
Mindful: “When he talks in the locker room, we listen to him. You can see it in his eyes. He pushes us to give more.”
The French election: “The situation is worrying.”
Kolo Muani: “It’s up to us to bring out the best Mbappé”
I speak too Chief Muaniwhich was certainly one of the surprises in the France eleven against Portugal and where there was one of the clearest chances to win the match, but Rúben Dias miraculously got it.
Action that can be a goal: “They are two similar plays, but I never stop thinking. Sometimes I remember some actions, but I try to live in the moment.”
Defensive attitude: “I have to do it a little to help my teammates. I try to have fun on the field, although of course defending is not what I dream of doing.”
Lack of purpose: “We have a bit of efficiency, that’s for sure. But the top scorer in the competition has a lot of own goals. We lack precision in front of goal, but the crosses go to the right place. The attackers have to be more present and the midfielders we must support.”
Your season: “Personally, it was something to forget compared to the previous one in Frankfurt. Although I finished with eight goals.”
Mbappé’s form: “He had an amazing season, scored 45 goals. It’s up to us to bring out the best version of him, hopefully we have two more games.”
