Hugo Lloris (goalkeeper and captain):
“It's disappointing to know the taste of defeat, we're going to use it because there are important deadlines.
(in the League of Nations) We will have to chase the points behind Austria and Denmark.
I haven't reviewed the goals, you have to analyze them.
There are alignment issues and that's unfortunate given the nature of the match.
You have to be able to raise the level in terms of intensity and aggressiveness.
Of course, we are in June, it is not the ideal period but it is the same for everyone.
We lacked sharpness, behind we must be more concentrated, it is played on details.
Denmark is a very good football team.
We will have to count on her in this League of Nations and at the World Cup.
We cannot hide behind excuses.
We saw a well-organized team opposite who had legs until the end of the match.
On our side, there were good things but they are difficult to highlight when you lose.
We will have to bounce back on Monday (in Croatia).
There are still six months to find the ideal formula.
We must continue to work and chain the matches.
Sometimes the defeats are sometimes rich in lessons, we are still very far from being perfect.
There's a World Cup at the end of the year and you'll have to get used to it.
Like all of us, Karim (Benzema) would have preferred this goal to earn us points.
It's cruel because we take this 2nd goal at the end of the match.
The regret that there may be is that we wanted so much to get this second goal that we discovered ourselves.

Antoine Griezmann (striker):
“We knew it would be complicated.
We missed a little freshness in the legs after a big week of training.
We have a game in three days and we have to do everything to win it and move on.
I felt good in the heart of the game with two forwards in front of me.
I started the second period well, then I struggled a bit physically.
The pre-season I did at Barça was completely different from the game at Atlético.
(In the absence of Deschamps) Guy (Stéphan) found the right words for the talk.
We wanted to play a big match for the coach, we didn't succeed.
You have to see what was good and what was not good.
When to press, how high… It's good to see that we can lose any game.
There is a lot of time until the World Cup, a lot can happen.
(if he will be physically started on Monday in Croatia) I have only played 50 or 60 minute matches this season so no worries I am ready (smile).
It's a good goal, I would have liked the victory because it's always better.
Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema (striker):
“We can't win every time even if we always go on the field to win.
We came across a very good team.
It didn't go as we would have liked.
We have to rest and switch to Croatia to win this game, which is important.
It's a good goal, I would have liked the victory because it's always better.
All the players come out of a great season with a lot of matches.
We are human beings, we have to recover.
But I think it's more mental work.
I try to work mentally, there are three games left, you have to take good care of the body.
We are not going to point the finger at a player, it happens.
We need to move on quickly.
We don't have the same freshness as at the start of the season, but if you are mentally ready..."
