Konate: Every game is important, I don’t know if Chevalier will play
6686 Sports News on November 15th. In the tenth round of the World European preliminaries, France will face Azerbaijan in the visiting team. Before the game, French defender Konate attended the press conference and talked about competition-related topics.
Talk about the captain's standard
Konate: "I don't know if I will be the captain tomorrow. I have to ask the coach (smile). The captain's pre-match speech is difficult to say, and it is easy to say: every game is important, even if there is no goal that must be achieved. This is our profession, we have to enjoy the game. This is the competition of the national team, we need to score points, and we have to create more data machines for attacking players. Yes."
"Extremely happy" for Ekitic
Konate: "When he first arrived in Liverpool, I talked to him. The intensity of the competition here is different from the Bundesliga. Everyone has had this experience. He was a little tired at the beginning of training. There was an episode: One day we were going to the weight room and he didn't want to go, so I said to him: 'Do you want to join the French national team? ' I saw it after two minutes. He's in the weight room (smiling). I feel like he's gone a long way. After his goal against Ukraine, I was really happy for him. He had a difficult time at Paris Saint-Germain and received a lot of criticism."
On Chevalier
Konat: "Will he play tomorrow? I don't know at all! I hope he can make his national team debut tomorrow."
Talk about possible slack
Konate: "Our intensity was lacking in the home game against Azerbaijan. Now everyone wants to play and score points. But even if the performance is bad tomorrow, please remember that we have already qualified for the World Cup. I understand very well. You! But we will do our best, this is our responsibility."
On Maro Gusto
Konate: "When he first arrived at Chelsea, his style of play was still young, but now he has become more mature in the game. His position in Chelsea is becoming more and more stable, and his skills and physical fitness can bring more to the team. The impact depends on his continued performance."
Clarifying his future direction
Conate: "I have heard too many rumors (smile)! There is news that Liverpool has offered me a new contract, but I don't know where this news came from... I hope I can make a decision and announce it as soon as possible."
Talk to the public. The game against Azerbaijan and Liverpool's next game
Konate: "This city is already stunningly beautiful. We will not focus on Liverpool's next game. We know that this team (Azerbaijan) is good, and I can say that the Azerbaijan team is extremely competitive."
Talk about Serki
Konate: " I'm careful with my words. In my opinion, there is no difference between his performance at Manchester City and France. He is a traditional player who loves to use football to bring happiness to everyone. His style of play and his abilities are beyond words. He has balanced skills with both feet. It depends on him and his hard work, but there is still a long way to go to reach this level."
