France: Konaté's big announcement on the state of mind in the absence of Mbappé

After a more than disappointing and soporific draw Thursday evening at the Stade de France against Israel, the French team will have to show a much better face tomorrow evening if they want to hope to bring something back from Italy. What Ibrahima Konaté is aware of, present at a press conference this Saturday: “Against Israel, I was a little disappointed. There was a lot of frustration. The only thing we lacked is efficiency. We just hope to win this match. If we can win it with two goals, that would be better. We want to try to take first place and take our revenge. We had domination, it was a team that played extremely low. We had a lot of opportunities. If we had won 4-0, there would be no debate today. During recovery the next day, we all talked about this disappointment. Every player knows that it was a match where we could take three points, sign the goal difference. We will try to correct this tomorrow.“

Konaté's big announcement!

Subsequently, he did not fail to praise Kylian Mbappé. However, he wanted to reassure everyone about one thing: “Kylian (Mbappé), we all love him. He is an exceptional player for this country. We don't forget everything he has done and what he will do for this team. But afterwards, we will never say to ourselves that we cannot win a match if he is not there, never in life” he said before concluding that San Siro will be sold out: “I played three times at San Siro, I won three times (laughs). I hope to do it a fourth time, that's the goal. The fans are incredible. I can't wait until tomorrow. It can influence both sides but especially the Italian team because they are at home.”
