After yesterday's victory over the Peruvians, the French team reached the 1/8 finals of the 2018 World Cup and currently occupies the first place in their group standings. According to the coach of the French national team Didier Deschamps, he intends to maintain the current state of affairs.
"We have 2 wins and a great score. We are the first in the group. Now rest and we will continue to work to win again. We always play to win. We need to secure a first place in the group, the second one would not suit me, "said Didier Deschamps.
Yesterday's game with Peru, he rated "excellent", noting that, in his opinion, France was on top, especially in defense:.
"We were well defended, but when we got the ball, we could not keep it. And under the pressure of Peru, we had to defend ourselves again. There were many opportunities to score more, but we could not use them.
In many respects this was due to the fact that we had a strong rival ".
Kilian Mbappa, who scored a goal against the national team of Peru, admitted that he was very happy that today's victory allows his team to move forward. However, he noticed that this was not over yet and that he and his colleagues still have a lot of work to do.
"When I scored, I felt happy. A goal is the dream of every footballer, "says Kilian Mbappa.
June 26, the French team will play against Denmark.
