Mbappé injury: “Unfortunately, he is not well. I think you're gonna have to leave. Let's not take any chances. He suffered a knee overload when he shot. It’s not exactly encouraging for him to continue in the selection.”
Victory in the premiere: “It was a good first try. It is not easy to come and play in Turkey in such a complicated environment. We played well, pressed them straight ahead in the field.”
Trains are already showing: “I’ve seen many interesting things, even though we’ve only had three and a half sessions of training. It's encouraging. I'm glad they did. It was good to see everyone.”
