Euro 2024: 'There is a real urgency' to vote, asks Kylian Mbappé, recalling the day before the Blues' quarter-final

Tomorrow we will provide you with the preliminary match for the quarter-finals of the Blues against Portugal, and the match will be commented on live on our website.

Goalkeeper duel Maignan-Costa, Mbappé-Cancelo rival, pivotal against Ronaldo… Tomorrow's match will contain many “matches within a match”.

Players and staff posed for photos with their first amateur club shirts, creating a great photo.

Ronaldo, legislative elections, the Blues match… the captain of the French national team was questioned on many topics during his press conference.

Didier Deschamps' press conference has just ended.

“This game can be decided based on a few things. There is a lot of quality in front of us as well as with us. I am convinced that it will be a big game tomorrow. Historically, the results have always been close, but at this stage of the competition, it is rare for there to be big gaps.”

“Criticism has always been a part of everyday life. It doesn't stop me from living well, calmly and peacefully.”

“He will always have that ability to score goals, even if he gets older. He remains a very big competitor,” he added.

“It's true that I haven't done much. Given the intensity, it's not easy to bring them in. As long as the players on the pitch don't show signs of fatigue, I won't change for the sake of change.”

“I'm not here for what you can say, or write. At some point, if everyone is at the top, you get bored. Whether it's Antoine or Marcus, there are positive things but there are other things, and I tell them, where there must be improvements. »

“I don’t even ask myself that question. She is still going strong! Because she has the legitimate ambition to be European champion. But we are in the quarter-finals and the best is there. There is only one place and we will make sure it is reserved for us!”

“It's a balance of power. They obviously prefer attack to defence but we met a Holland who were very dominant but relatively cautious against us. Will Portugal be like that against us…?”

“I feel good compared to what we did in the last game. We make sure to improve and distribute between everyone. Today, we are on the eve of the game so it is a little lighter. Even if there are always differences between players, we were able to respond in every game, maybe a little less against Poland…”

Kylian Mbappé's press conference has just ended. Make way for Didier Deschamps.

“Antoine has been slaughtered a little. The criticism has come mainly from the country. But it is important to have the recognition. It is not shameful to say that he is going through a bit of a complicated period. It is unfortunate that he is a little worse for wear, that they throw him out into the street and scratch him. He is someone who has always given everything for the France team. And being a footballing country means supporting our great players when they are in difficulty. Help him and try to do everything so that he helps us. »

“I don't think about the names of the players who will play in the quarter-finals at the age of 41. I can only say to him, 'Respect what you have achieved', even if we don't respect him tomorrow on the pitch.”

When a journalist in the press room told him he was “to the far left” of him, the Blues captain replied: “Luckily you weren't on the other side!”

“A lot of people refer to the game we played when I arrived for selection. But we had different players. With Pogba, you just have to put your head down, run and know the ball is coming to your feet. Today, you can play less deep because it is probably the least characteristic of midfielders. But if there are spaces, I will rush into them.”

“I don’t read the future. So far we have been able to complete all the stages and we have a new stage available. At the moment, we are only focused on Portugal. What happened before and what will happen next is not the most important thing.”

“The Euros are always difficult. There are only great teams, and we will go into the details. You have to be important in both areas. There will be two teams with the ambition to reach the semi-finals. In training, there have been improvements in both finishing and intensity.”

“This mask is lucky. I have to say thank you to it. Without it I wouldn’t play. But my opinion of my feelings for it won’t change. I have a chance to play tomorrow.”

“I hope to have a great story at Real. But I will not go there to continue writing Cristiano Ronaldo's story there.”

“I have never been an envious person. There will never be players like him. Ronaldo has scored quite a few generations and goals. His CV speaks for itself. He knew how to reinvent himself. I respect him but I hope he will be less happy tomorrow because we want to go to the semi-finals.”

“Camavinga has the confidence of the whole group. But if someone else too.”

“More than ever we have to go vote, it's really urgent. We can't leave our country in the hands of these people. We've seen the results, it's really catastrophic. We hope people will vote, and on the good side.”

From Hamburg, the France captain referred to his bond with CR7. “Everyone knows how much I admire Cristiano. Playing against him is a great honour for everything he has done in football. No matter what he did before or what happened after, he will remain a legend of the game.
