Hungary-France (1-1): Tolisso does not want “to question everything”

The draw of the French barely finished against Hungary (1-1), the Blues immediately wanted to move on this Saturday. Like the statements of midfielder Corentin Tolisso in the mixed zone, the workforce of Deschamps does not wish to dramatize the result, while recognizing that there is still “work”.

How do you feel about the difficulties of offensive animation?

CORENTIN TOLISSO. As the coach said, we lacked efficiency. We had a few actions where we could have scored. It takes a little while. We continue. This is our fourth game only. It will come, do not worry.

How did you experience this atmosphere and the heat?

It’s already nice to find so many supporters. We were a little surprised at the beginning with this enormous noise. There was a big difference compared to the last few months. It was very, very hot. Reminds me of Australia at the World Cup (Editor’s note: June 16, 2018 2-1 victory for the French), where it was hot and dry as well. There’s still one game left, it’s up to us to do the work to try to finish first.

On the physical level, has there not been a backlash?

We try to adapt. We trained at 3pm yesterday (Friday) and the day before yesterday (Thursday). But this intensity also makes things complicated. It’s harder to play at 3 p.m. on very dry ground like that than at night.

We praised the quality of the defense against Germany. How do you analyze this?

It was not at all the same style of game. We had the ball most of the time, they blocked us. There were spaces for them. They scored on a block. We were good against Germany. However, we should not put everything back on defense.

Is this the type of performance that can create doubts?

No. You have to study both good and bad things. It is up to us to continue to work. We have already won a match and we didn’t say we had arrived. We sucked, we are not at the bottom. We must not question everything. We also did some good things. There is still work to be done.
