“With times, we have good football, especially in the second half. In the first half we were really seeking. Furthermore, we are unhappy at disadvantage”, referred to by captain Dyke on the error of Quincy Promes with the first hit of the French. Kylian Mbappé benefited within a quarter of an hour of the defensive fumbling and tike the 1-0 within behind goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen. “Mistakes happen in the game, that belongs to football. The only pity is that it’s happening now. You will unnecessarily 1-0 behind and then you run behind the facts.” Ryan Babel signed still for the second half, but eventually took over Olivier Giroud the winning hit in France.

Van Dijk was not that the French are much better than Orange played in the first 45 minutes. “As much they have the ball, it seems as if they were the parent party. But France did not come to many chances”, said the defender of Liverpool. “In the second half we also get opportunities, but it was there just not in. You want to win, you come here not to lose. A good result was in it, and therefore bales we huge. But there are plenty of positive points. Only feel lose always bad.”
