A brilliant qualification, a fireworks display with a historic quadruple from Kylian Mbappé, author of half of the goals of the evening (8-0) against Kazakhstan.
What obviously to rejoice the national coach, Didier Deschamps, in a press conference after the meeting in the auditorium of the Parc des Princes.
What is your take on Kylian Mbappé's incredible performance?
It's a very nice evening for him in terms of efficiency.
He has this ability to score.
He even becomes efficient in the head game.
He has this perfectionist mindset.
Everything he does throws the counters into a panic.
With the whole of the France team, he was able to show all his class and his state of mind.
He let Antoine (Griezmann) take a penalty when he could have scored a quintuplet.
He touched a lot of balloons.
Is his game changing?
He always had freedom.
He also defended when needed.
He is capable of doing anything.
Having a week of recovery available is obviously better.
I never gave it a fixed position.
He is an axial attacker, he moves and there is movement around.
He was very involved in the construction.
Did you celebrate this qualification in the locker room?
It is joy.
There was a wonderful atmosphere on the ground, in communion with the public.
The players are happy, like the entire staff.
It sounds like a perfect evening.
Kazakhstan hadn't conceded many goals so far.
We put so many qualities that we put them in pain.

Kingsley Coman in straight piston, is it provisional?
I never do a one shot.
It is a balance of power.
It was not risky today because I knew we would have a lot of the ball.
He had very good feelings.
Yes it is possible to repeat that in front of another opponent.
If we have the ball, that's fine.
This is the 14th rank qualification for a Euro or a World Cup.
What do you think?
It is pride.
This is my 4th for me.
I am very proud of my players.
The talent, the state of mind and the talent are there.
The France team is doing very good things and is still one of the best nations.
Sometimes it comes down to little.
We are here and we will be there.

How did you experience the evening commemorating the attacks of November 13, 2015?
We cannot forget.
It is an indelible mark.
Even more for families.
Never again.
We have this duty to remember.
The Marseillaise a capella was fabulous.
