“Do you find the score logical?
Yes, I think it’s logical, I think we could have even made the score worse. We had the ball, control of the match, they defended a lot, they were clumsy too. We pushed until the end and we won.
You were still strong, is that your trademark?
I had already said it, we are very good, very solid, with a very compact block, difficult to break through. Even in the one-on-one duels, we were very good, that is our strength. We did not give up, it is a great victory.
You had worked on this 4-4-2 diamond and finally you played in 4-3-3…
Maybe it’s to mislead you (laughs). No, but seriously, we worked on it, we talked about it, but the coach decided to do it differently today. You have to ask him why. We are professionals and we adapt.
“Everyone was up to the task”
Randal Kolo Muani has come to deliver you…
He was active, he relieved us. He made a very good entrance. He is very important, like everyone else, the coach repeats it all the time. There is always room. That is also what makes us strong, we are very united.
What do you think of William Saliba’s performance?
Being on the pitch, I found it very good but everyone was up to the task. They were very good defensively. Even Jules (Koundé) one-on-one with (Jérémy) Doku.
You are suspended for the next match…
I’m disgusted to be suspended, the referee was quite severe, he had a little absence, but there are guys who will do the job. I’m confident for the future. I hope to be back for the semi-final.
