His view of the Blues' non-match against Tunisia


“It's not our best match, the most important thing is that we're first in the group.

Now we have the head to Sunday against Poland.

We are already remobilized, our objective has been achieved, even if we are competitors and want to win all the matches.

It's not going to affect our mood."

The Lewandowski threat and the round of 16 against Poland


“He is a very good player in the area, with his movements.

He has an extraordinary finish, he is serious, present for quite a few years.

We will do everything so that he does not score.

(Advice to a defender) The best thing is that he doesn't have the ball (smiles).

He's a top striker, he mustn't have any chances to get his teeth into.

He arrives at the end of the action, if we manage to deprive him of the ball, it will be a good thing for us.

(Poland) We are going to tackle the subject from today (Thursday).

We have often faced teams like that, with a very strong counter-attack.

Yesterday (Wednesday) we all followed the game, we will do our best to win this game.

His frustration with his substitute status


“You can't be frustrated to start a game in the World Cup.

I took it as a childhood dream.

Everyone wants to play, the fact of having started players who played little, it remains a chance.

Kylian Mbappé has even more insurance, confidence, it gives him a very important status in this team.
