Received by Italy (1-3), Friday evening, at the Parc des Princes, during the first day of the League of Nations, Didier Deschamps players are banking on the accident process.
Manu Koné (centre of the French team, after 1-3 defeat against Italy ) : “A rickshaw? It’s a little hard… We lost. We hope to do better. We are a team. We win together and lose together. We have to work well in both areas. We will try to do better against Belgium (Monday in Lyon). The Fragile Blues? It is not a question of fragility. But once again, we have to be more efficient in both areas. We must do better. We have powers. There are some great players on this team. We will try to respond against Belgium. A little more run and energy, and he will do it against Belgium. First time in Blue? It is a source of pride from an individual’s point of view. After all, I don’t pay much attention to all that, I just hope to win this match. It is true that my first game was with the France A team, but we will try to do better against Belgium. Words of coach and players? We are not happy. We are great competitors. We have to do better against Belgium. We are big players, that means we will keep our heads up. We are lost at home. We hope that in Lyon, everyone will be behind us to support us. Bad energy? There are great players in the team, which means we all have great matches, at high intensity and with a lot of pressure. We know how to handle the pressure and we will keep our heads up, don’t worry. No problem? No, don’t worry.” (in mixed area)
Bradley Barcola (French team player) : “I’m proud to score this first goal (with the French team), especially here (at the Parc des Princes), but very disappointed with the defeat, we could have done really better, it’s a shame. The goal? I saw that Kylian (Mbappé) was close, I saw Gigio (Donnarumma) a little bit hoping to pass. Then, I knew I had to pass my shot and that was it (laughs). He is back. Ready to take a starting role in the French team? Yes, I’m a little ready. I try to be the best in every game, for what I have to give, but the coach decides, I will always be ready, start or not, I will always be ready to play. Boss at PSG? I’m playing, I’m having a lot of fun this time, I’m more motivated, I’m enjoying it, I’m giving it my all in training and in matches, it makes me happy and I can still benefit from the group. “ (on TF1)

When you lose a game it’s not the end of the world. We have to pick ourselves up and do better in the next game.

Mike Maignan (footballer of the French team): “It’s a sweet defeat, we want to start with a win after the Euros. Unfortunately, we are unable to do so. It’s an off day, it’s not easy. We came up against a great team who defended well, they attacked well and had a lot of success in the box. It was a difficult day for us but we have to continue. That’s competition. (…) It happened. We can’t play all the matches with clean sheets. We try to start the matches by aiming to score more than the opponent and not concede a goal. Unfortunately, that is not the case. There were evenings like that… (…) I had a hard time with him. The group gets it wrong. We are competitors, we want to win. After all, we didn’t do it this evening. But we have a match on Monday (against Belgium in Lyon). We have to get back on track. Locker room talks? We talk but it is between us. We will analyze the cold match, we also warm. Anxious? No, there is nothing to worry about. Competition is, when you lose a game it’s not the end of the world. We have to pick ourselves up and do better in the next game. President? I have a role to play but we all have a role to play. On the field, we play with 11 players, we have a team. And we know we have to do better. We know we have to win. The French team must win. (the Blues and their physique) For some, it was either the second match, or the third. But it is the same for Italians. We will not make excuses. We will ask ourselves about moving forward. “ (in mixed area)
