Great happiness in France following the amazing victory over Belgium last night (Thursday) 2: 3, after a huge turnaround that included a return from a double lag and a goal in the 90th minute by Theo Hernandez.
At the end of the game, French coach Didier Deschamps said: "We played a good first half. The first twenty-five minutes, in particular. Then we suffered too much, retreated too much. We lacked aggression. Then, in the second half, with our attacking players bothering everywhere on the pitch, It was different. The quality exists. We must not forget the opponent who was in front of us, not for nothing is she the best in the FIFA rankings.
"Half the time, except for me, not many people thought we were going to reverse this situation."
The coach described the sequence of events with the winner of the goal, Theo Hernandez: "Why did I not call Theo earlier? I thought about it for a long time, he was angry several times. He is a very interesting player, we see it while it is only his second appearance."
In the final, the tricolor will meet Spain, who defeated Italy, about whom Deschamps said: "We will already enjoy this victory. I watched the game between Italy and Spain. Spain is very good, and it always has the ability to deprive the opponent of the ball, to tire it. We must be effective. A trophy is at stake and it is important to win titles. "
