Find the reactions of some Blues after the draw against Croatia (1-1).
Wissam Ben Yedder (France striker): “It was played on this penalty, I do not know if there was offside or not on the action. On arrival it gives us a draw, a good point taken I would say. Everything was going well, even if there was a lack of automatism between us (in attack), but that’s understandable because we’ve never played together. I am quite satisfied (personally) but I am a competitor, I would have liked to win so I am a little frustrated with this scenario and this equalizer at the end of the match.
Lucas Digne (defender of the France team): “(the first moves away) a little bit. If we get a six out of six (six points in two matches, editor’s note) in the last matches of the course, fate will remain in our hands. When you lead until the 80th minute, it’s sure frustrating to be equalized in the last minutes. We did what was necessary tonight, it’s a shame not to leave with the three points. It’s up to the players to adapt to the systems, both agree with the qualities we have in the team. It takes communication and work, mistakes are part of the game too, it’s up to us to punish the opponent when necessary.

Mattéo Guendouzi (midfielder of the France team): “There are still a lot of matches left in this group, we know that we will have to bring back victories but everything remains playable. We had the game in hand until the 80th. Over the last five minutes the game was much more open, they had situations and so did we. Over the whole match we deserved to take the three points so it’s a shame to take this penalty at the end. There were still some good things tonight, with or without the ball. They didn’t put us in that much trouble, even though it’s a very great team with very great players.

Adrien Rabiot (France midfielder): “(on his goal) It’s nice, especially since I hadn’t scored yet this season. I’m very happy, even if I would have been more happy if we had won. We had a good defensive base, we slid well, we had good benchmarks. With the ball we managed well even if at the end, at 1-1, we were a bit scattered because we wanted to score. But overall, defensively or offensively, we showed good things.
