The Monegasque captain looks back on his hat-trick in the victory against Nantes and agrees to discuss the prospect of the World Cup with the Blues.
Wissam Ben Yedder (captain of Monaco, scored a hat-trick in the 4-1 win over Nantes) : «It was a very good game. We started well, pressing high and recovering high to be efficient and finish. It opened the game for us. We felt better and better. By scoring quickly, we are more confident, we play more easily. We remain on good results in L1. We continue to progress (…) On my dive? I try to play on instinct. I took the time to analyze the position of the goalkeeper to choose at the last moment. (5th scorer in the history of Monaco with 78 goals and overtaking Falcao) It is an honour, a joy, a pride to overtake Falcao who is a legend in Monaco.
(On his non-selection in Blue) Places are expensive in the France team. My three goals are a joy. But I continue to work hard not to give up. Everyone dreams, as a child, of competing in a World Cup. In more complicated periods, you have to work twice, three times more. I don’t give up. I keep moving forward.»
