The stakes against Finland
We have our responsibility as a leader, there is the coach and the staff.
Everyone is aware of the situation, the game against Finland is even more important than it was.
Against Ukraine, we scared each other, we expected an individual and collective reaction from the start of the match.
We hope to have a positive evening for the France team.

The Blues, a convalescent team
We had a sudden stop during the Euro.
This elimination hurt us.
Are we healed?
Apparently that's not the case, but I can sense players who want to give their all.
This is not the time to let go, but to hurt yourself, to surpass yourself.
We will have to raise the level and return to success.
We are in need.
General awareness
Younger people are concerned, but it is something new for them. I had black years in the France team, when you are not prepared to take hits, it makes things complicated. It is up to us, the executives, to respond and guide the team. I had spoken about getting up together. We thought maybe it was going to happen faster than we expected, it is not the case but we have to put more effort together.
The page of the Euro too quickly turned?
Not necessarily, in addition it lacks a lot of players compared to the Euro. I think we started the internship with this common desire to win. I don't know a player who doesn't have this desire. The level increases year after year, with talented and well organized teams. In front of regrouped teams it is better to act before conceding the opening of the scoring because that makes things complicated. We have to fix it all tomorrow. You have to start the game thoroughly, recover the three points.
Offensive speech also in the locker room?
Without going into details, this has already been the case with speeches at half-time against Ukraine or during the rally. We are together, whoever needs to express himself must do so. The problem must be resolved tomorrow and not wait until November. We don't want to have a month of November that is even more under pressure than that. One has to be even stronger in the mind.
