World Cup 2018 – Blues / Olivier Giroud: "An extraordinary trick"



[ad_1]

Find the main reactions after the second world title of men Didier Deschamps. The Blues won Sunday against Croatia (4-2).

Didier Deschamps (coach of the Blues)

It's so beautiful and wonderful. Some are champions at age 19 … We did not make a huge game but we showed mental quality. And we put 4 goals anyway. It is deserved. We started from a distance, it was not always easy but by dint of work, we are there. They are on the roof of the world for four years. It hurt so much to lose the Euro two years ago, but it made us feel good too. We have desacralized this event. This moment belongs to the players. For 55 days, we have done a lot of work. It is the supreme coronation. We like the French. We are proud to be French, to be Blues. Long live the Republic

Antoine Griezmann (striker of the Blues)

I do not know where I am! I am really happy. It was a very difficult match, Croatia made a big match. We, we entered shyly, we let go little by little and we managed to make the difference. Frankly, it's a kif. We can not wait to lift the Cup and bring it back to France. (On his penalty) I hesitated to do the Panenka, the Zidane! But I preferred to open my foot.

Hernandez: "We will celebrate with all the French"

Adil Rami (defender of the Blues)

World Champion? It's nothing, it's normal for us! No, it's a crazy thing … I do not dare to imagine what is happening in France. We have a country that has suffered a lot of amalgam. Me, I'm French of Moroccan origin and I'm proud of it, proud to show that I'm not a thug, proud to make my country in joy like that. I love France. I am too happy for everyone. This country deserves that. Today, everyone is partying, but becoming world champion in the most popular sport in the world is not easy. It takes too much sacrifice, too much work.

Lucas Hernandez (Defender of the Blues)

We do not realize what we just did. It's really big. When we arrive tomorrow in Paris, we will realize. We will celebrate with all the French, millions and millions of French. I hope only one thing, arriving tomorrow in Paris to see the streets. Many people criticized me saying that I did not want to play for France, but what Didier Deschamps called me, I gave myself to death for the team of France. During the whole competition, I did not give up, I gave everything on the ground.

Pogba: "We made vibrate France"

Benjamin Pavard (defender of the Blues)

It's something phew, at 22, I'm coming out of nowhere. I think I do not realize completely yet. When we go home, we will see all the fervor of the French people. It's going to be something really huge. That's all I'm waiting for, to come back and celebrate with all the French people. What we have done is enormous. I'm really happy for the whole group, for all the staff, for the cooks too. (…) It's something great

Paul Pogba (middle of the Blues)

France was thrilled. We hope they are proud of us. Thank you ! It's extraordinary. It's a kid's dream. I lost my voice ! Today, I said that we were 90 minutes back in history for life, to make France vibrate. It is beautiful.

Mendy: "It will be a big brothel on the Champs"

Olivier Giroud (striker of the Blues)

We celebrated in the cloakroom, there is the president Emmanuel Macron who was present. There was also Vladimir Putin and also the Croatian President who wished to congratulate us. (…) We will enjoy, I was monopolized so that I come to do the press, it was not planned. There is euphoria in the locker room and I want to find my teammates. (…) I was on the bench the last ten minutes, we were talking with the guys, I think we did not even realize yet, we were between two waters, to stay focused until the end. We did not want to get up too fast. Afterwards, I ran everywhere, I remember crossing Adil (Rami), we hugged each other. We threw ourselves on the ground and then I broke down. (…) It's an extraordinary thing that we realized, it's warm to the heart. This is a beautiful page that we have written.

Benjamin Mendy (Defender of the Blues)

It's crazy. Earlier, a friend sent me a photo when I was young with a shirt from the France team. I had red white blue on the cheek. It was crazy. And there, we live that moment. That's wonderful. Many players would dream. I was elsewhere. It's the most beautiful cup and she will stay at home for four years. For ever this group will be in the heart of the Blues. We broke the rules, we did not want to make the World Cup. Tomorrow, it will be the fire in all France. We are a real family. There was a very good feeling, that crazy. Thank you all and go the Blues. It will be a big brothel on the Fields.
