Kylian Mbappé scored twice for France in the group-stage match. The 3‑1 victory over Senegal in Group I moves France closer to securing a third World Cup title.
I don't think we're fully up and running yet. But it's always good to start a tournament with a win. It gives you a bit more peace of mind, even though you're never really relaxed at a World Cup.
I play to leave a mark on my country's history and to help my team win the World Cup.
If I started playing for all the people who criticize me just to silence them, I'd have to play until I was 80.
Always important to start with a win. It will be a long road, but we are ready.
People say he doesn't defend enough. Well, he's not here to defend.
He can from time to time miss a game or two, but on one action, he really is able to tip the scales and bring his team to victory.
If he wants to miss the first half again and score two goals in the second half in another match, that's OK with me.
He could have scored four or five goals, OK, theoretically, but we're happy with two goals.
If we had been more efficient, by halftime, we would have been able to lead 1- or 2-nil.
