The head coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, commented on his team’s victory in the 1/4 finals of Euro 2024 match against Portugal in the post-match penalty shootout.

" The game may end differently, so we didn’t have an important ending to the match at this hour. Vtoma tezh bula. Everything is in vain, but I am for the team. The stinks turned up to the maximum and switched the ball from the one we needed.

Substitution of Kylian Mbappe? You're clearly tired and it's not easy. I know how I fought in the first half of the extra hour.

It was not possible to deprive him of his senses on the field, as he was a penalty taker. Kilian will always honor me and my team. I decided to bring a little freshness to normal.

We are at the final stage, and not those who are guilty of accepting them as carefully as we have recently called. I was honored to be in the quarterfinals. Now we need to overcome the upcoming match,” the UEFA press service quotes Deschamps as saying..
