Didier, people said you had to avoid Portugal and Croatia. In the end it will be Ukraine, is that a good draw for France ?
It will be a good draw if we qualify!
But of course, as we were not seeded, we had the risk of playing Portugal or Croatia
two teams with history and experience, but it won’t be easy against Ukraine either.
They are unbeaten for seven games, they don’t concede a lot of goals
and it will be a long trip for us, but playing the second leg at home is a good thing for us.
France last played Ukraine at EURO 2012 and you beat them. Is that a psychological advantage ?
That was a while ago ... every game has to be judged on its own merits.
It was a group game, but now we are talking about knock-out games. You win or go home.
Our whole future will be played in the space of four days
We have to be confident but also show respect to Ukraine, who will certainly give 100 per cent.
