Among the many expressions of cajón that there is in football, there is one that applies to France: "young people win matches, not titles". Sometimes it's true, sometimes not. But in the case of the team that has just removed Argentina's Lionel Messi from the World Cup, these youngsters have an experience that many veterans would like and threaten to carry the momentum of their youth in the final in Moscow.

This is Rapahel Varane. The central defender (1.91m) joined the national team six years ago, but he already has a World Cup (with Brazil in the quarterfinals) and his club, Real Madrid . there are 5 Spanish titles (two leagues, one cup, two supercups) and 11 international titles, including four champions (four!) and three world clubs. And he is barely 25 years old. Varane, who avoided the press in the first matches, stops now, always smiling and looking straight into the eyes, to speak Spanish about the feat of his country, which dreams of overcoming the best performance of the French, who reached the semi-finals three times, in 1958, 1982 and 1986.

"We defended well, despite the three goals we had a good game, we were very strong behind and took advantage of all spaces left by Argentina to counterattack and hurt them. "

How did they neutralize the best in the world?

In a team. He is a player who makes pbades as the third goal, he goes with a lot of speed and can help his team-mates to score goals, so we left him little space and we defended ourselves together to give him the fewer balls possible. 19659003] How is this level of efficiency achieved, yielding the ball to the opponent and then punishing?

With patience. We leave the ball a little more to the opponent, but we take advantage of every moment to do some damage, and that is the important thing.

It has qualities similar to those of the Brazilian, but it is different; he likes to dribble a lot, he learns and we are happy to have such a talented player

With the speed of Mbappé …

Yes, we took advantage of his speed and had a combination game with Griezmann, with Pogba, with Giroud, that we could throw at Kilyan to do some damage with his speed.

About Mbappé, some compare him to the Brazilian Ronaldo. Do they look alike?

He has a lot of talent, he is a very fast player who has goals and he is still very young. It has similar qualities to Brazilian, but it's different; he likes to dribble a lot, he learns and we are happy to have such a talented player

Would he also meet at Real Madrid?

I do not know, he will triumph in any team.

Let's go little by little; Four years ago we lost in the quarterfinals, so this time we hope to go further. We have a good team, young, and we know we will go step by step, first seeing what team touches us and we are preparing well to try to follow.
