‘Should I tell you our game plan? I don’t think this is the right moment. But of course we have a moment. We know we have to adapt quickly as well. You need more than one game plan and the ability to adapt.’
‘We know they can play a diamond in the middle. The last time they played was in 2021, so it’s a good sign if teams are adapting to us. It means we’re not doing too many things wrong. But it could also be about the situation of France, whoever they play.’
‘It’s a tough opponent, of course it’s an important game, you go on or you’re out. You feel this special feeling and that’s why we came here and wanted to go on. We had that feeling after losing the first game against Romania, since then we couldn’t relax for two days, so it’s nothing new for us, we have to be focused and we have the quality to do it. ‘
Tedesco also spoke about the previous defeat to France, saying:
‘(The previous meeting) is in the players’ heads. I asked the players what they thought about France. I have never faced France, but we have many things that can motivate us, so I will not use that specifically, but it is in their heads. ‘
‘We have 90 minutes to play and we will give it our all. What is possible and sometimes what is impossible, this group of young players wants it. You can feel it.’
‘We trust all the players. Our only problem is that we can only field 11 players. There are many players available and it is a difficult situation to decide who will be on the bench because they have trained well and we have different profiles.’
