Selma Bacha (Blue midfielder, scorer against Portugal): “At the start of the match, they put us in difficulty with their 4-4-2 diamond. We regulated well at the end of the first period. At the start of the second half, we struggled to get back into it. Leaders were able to pull us up. We were more efficient than them, it worked this (Friday) evening. On a personal level, I don’t like talking about myself too much, I’m proud of my performance, it’s always a pride to score for your country. This finalizes the match I was making. I am very happy. The coach said to persevere, continue, stick with it. I took my chance, I’m proud of it, it’s incredible to score a goal like that with the spectators who were incredible. We once again showed a beautiful image.
(On her temperament) When we’re on the pitch, we get moved, I get nervous, I don’t like seeing my teammates get moved. I have a bit of madness sometimes, but good madness, I have to channel it. When madness takes over, I can stupidly take yellow ones. We were rushing a lot but we have to remember the positive and use that in Austria.
(On Henry’s return) Amandine, I told her at the end of the match that I missed her. She took on her role as manager, as leader, she helped me a lot on the ground. She struggled a lot. I know her sadness when she didn’t make the French team. Seeing her there, smiling, wetting her swimsuit, I know she will bring us her experience, so I am very happy for her.
(On Mbock’s return) I have no words, she has a crazy mind. She worked a lot. We find executives including Amandine and Griedge as the coach said. I hope she will regain her starting place, it is the coach who will decide because there is competition from everywhere. »
Grace Geyoro (Les Bleues midfielder after France-Portugal 2-0): “We had a very good first period, we were a little more bothered afterwards, but in the end the result was positive, we are happy. (On his performance) I try to project myself, to bring offensiveness, that’s what I like to do. What I prefer is playing in an 8, I’ve already told the coach, today (Friday) with a three-man midfield, we saw the contribution of the 8, it’s very important. It’s a system that suits us more with Sandie (Toletti).
(On the absence of any sign of support from the Blues for the struggle of the Spanish players) We talk about it among ourselves, but it’s true that we haven’t put anything in place regarding that. But that doesn’t mean that the support isn’t there, on the contrary. »
