Special envoys in Budapest

A match in the heat and in a full stadium on Saturday
“We are very happy to be able to play this match in a full stadium (55,000 spectators expected). There will be atmosphere and color. The Hungarians will be carried by their audience, they will respond present. They showed good things against the Portuguese. The heat (over 30 ° announced at 3 p.m., Editor’s note) is an important factor. It counts in terms of sleep, nutrition and hydration. We hope for a water break (a break to drink, editor’s note). Playing at 3pm is not a problem, we are all used to doing it in a club. But at 30 ° it is an important element to take into account. “

How he sees the game on Saturday
“The Hungarians broke down in the last moments of the match against Portugal but they put in a good performance. It’s a united, well-organized team that will evolve in front of its audience. It will give him energy with the added motivation to play against the France team. There is no easy match. It will be different (compared to Germany). We will have a lot more the ball. It’s up to us to use it well. Be precise in our passing game, be dynamic in movement, create spaces for our offensive players. ”

The captain’s caution after Germany
“You shouldn’t see yourself too good-looking either. It was only a first game. The road is very long and many challenges await us. It starts with tomorrow against a different opponent. It’s important to start this way. We showed a beautiful face with a lot of solidarity and solidity. We have to build on that. If you want to go far in competition, you have to want to hurt yourself, to be sharp and killer. Always with this desire to win. The strength of our team is this competitive spirit, our desire to win together. ”

Communication on the pitch more difficult in a full stadium
“It will be more complicated (for him). It is possible to do it between two lines but it will be difficult to skip the lines, communicate with an attacker or an attacking midfielder for example. This is a parameter that is changing, but we are very happy to return to the fundamentals of our sport. We will experience emotions with the supporters present and those watching TV ”.
