Find all the sayings of our Blues FFF TVtwo days before the final against Argentina.
Hugo Loris : “These matches are so addictive that you will be exhausted. It’s so beautiful, but here we must emphasize recovery: nutrition, massages, stretching… We do everything we can to have legs on Sunday. This final is truly a prestigious competition. Everything comes together for a grand finale. This is the last game, also the most difficult. We have to put all the trumps on our side to give ourselves every chance to win. Leo Messi marked the history of our sport. We’ve seen it since the start of the league, he still has a huge impact on his team. But there is talent all around him. It is a young but talented team. This match is played on details, in the head. We all have a competitive soul. Getting the chance to play in a World Cup final doesn’t happen every day.»
Ibrahim Konaat : “It’s crazy and unbelievable what’s going on. Personally, and for all the other players who weren’t there in 2018, I don’t think we realize the greatness of this competition. But that is also a good thing, it allows us to prepare calmly against a big team from Argentina. I wouldn’t say Argentina is scary. We’re going to have to be in the continuity of what we’ve been doing from the beginning. We will have to be united, together and give everything together. Until the last second. We could see games being played until the final whistle and sometimes even beyond (laughs).»
Oliver Giroud : “We were lucky enough to make the game quite easy (against Morocco, editor’s note) by scoring early enough. After we have the opportunity to post a second, but it does not want to smile, especially with my post. We defended pretty well, together, as a unit. They grew well and we had some scares. After that I think we deserve to pass, even if we have to congratulate this Moroccan team for a great run. It will be a big piece against Argentina, it is a very good final. For me it’s 50/50. We expect a big fight. We will have to be careful not to leave too much room for Messi, but we have the qualities to thwart him.»
