His view of the evening and his double
“We are very happy to go to the quarter-finals, it was not an easy match against a difficult team.
We scored goals at key moments.
We ended up winning and we are very happy to continue the adventure.

The reason for his media silence
“I wanted to express myself, on why I did not speak (elected best player in the first two matches, he had not appeared at a press conference).
It was nothing personal, I had nothing against journalists, I just needed to concentrate on my competition, without wasting energy on anything else.
I learned that the FFF was going to have a fine, I agree to pay it personally.

His goals in Qatar
“The World Cup is the competition of my dreams, I built my season on this meeting.
But we are still far from the objective that we have set and that I have set myself.
We will do everything to get there.
(On the Ballon d'Or) I'm not thinking about it.
My only goal is to win the World Cup.
It's the only dream I have, I came here to win the World Cup, not the Ballon d'Or or the top scorer title.
I am here to win and to guide the France team.
