Olivier Kemen (France captain) : "We were self-confident"

"We work well together since we were in the U-16 team, we know each other for a while. We were self-confident. Playing agains different football cultures, it's rewarding. We learn to adapt ourselves, we watch a lot of videos and we get some experience. We don't think about France victory last year, we want to do our tournament. Of course we want to go as far as we can and win it. We focus on what we have to do and if we manage to, I think we can win."

Aloïs Confais (France midfielder) : "We reacted well"

"It's important to well know each other to playing well together and make some good performances. It was the case tonight. We didn't doubt, we were confident about our strength. We reacted well after Mexico goal. We expected that Mexico make high pressure on us. We were good on duels, it's been important and permitted us to win the game."
