“We are keen to pass this stage of the semi-finals”
“We approached the competition differently because of our reconstruction and what happened against Serbia, without announcing anything, with humility, says Valentin Porte, the right-back of the Blues. We are all pleasantly surprised by our journey. Who would have told us a month ago that we were going to make six victories in six matches, in addition to playing for big nations? We will continue on tiptoe, with humility, trying to climb the ranks. Afterwards, we will be keen to pass this stage of the semi-finals which has not been done for a very long time. »
