French team defender Jonathan Kroos attended the national team's press conference. At the press conference, he talked about his views on serving as a substitute in the national team and many teammates around him.
Talking about his role as a substitute
This is slightly different from my experience in the club. I'm a fun-loving person and my sense of humor has never gone away. We have 25 guys who all want to play. When I'm not playing, I know it's important for the guys who are playing to have the support of the guys who aren't playing. no problem.
talks about his past in Germany
I know this place very well! I remember playing in a game here where we won 3-0...
On Maignan's leadership
He talks a lot and gives a lot of information, he's very focused. I discovered this with the national team and for a defender it's great to have a goalkeeper who can guide you like that, it's a huge advantage. When you are two to three meters out of position, he will call you back. Mike was a leader who did a lot of good things.
Talking about Kylian Mbappe in the friendly match against Paderborn reserve team
When he is on the pitch, he is 100%, I think he is doing very well, he is adapting to his mask and he scores goals, Killian is great!
Excited about De Zerbi coaching Marseille
This is very positive! We know what he is capable of and we have played against Brighton under him and it could have a big impact on his future. When you know a coach like him is coming, it's a pleasure to play under him. This may allow us to reshuffle the deck.
praised the French team's central defender
. I was impressed by their physical impact and ball control ability, which is very impressive. Their calmness, their calmness...it was reassuring.
Maintenance of Griezmann
Antoine always goes all out in training and he will become stronger. I think it would be too harsh to say he lacked confidence, he led us through many difficult moments!
Talking about the level of competition in the European Cup
What impressed us is that all teams came to the European Cup with the necessary equipment, that is, desire. When you have a team that's a little less talented at football, you come in with a lot of generosity.
I haven't been notified yet of what to expect against Poland.
I'm waiting for the lineup like the other players, there are 25 of us who want to play and we're all preparing and waiting. We are focused on qualifying and if we do, I don't mind being on the bench.
Talking about his experience in Germany
I came here very young, in my early teens... It was obvious when I came here that I was eliminated very quickly. I was frustrated at first, I had to change a lot of things quickly and grow quickly. I was the only Frenchman in the team, so I had to manage seniority alone and had to mature quickly. But that doesn't stop me from having fun and they are able to coach me on my behavior.
talks about his first participation in the finals of a competition with the national team
The difference between the national team and the club is the atmosphere of the game. The goals are different, it's very different, but at the same time it's a very close family and it strengthens the bond.
On Kanter’s versatility
He’s great! I discovered a third side of him. In addition to his outstanding physical fitness, he also has an intelligence about the game... He does not run blindly, he knows how to go forward and create opportunities. He's very complete, I've rarely seen such a complete player in midfield and he's impressive.
Talking about Kounde
He has had a very good start in the European Cup and his defensive ability is impressive. His confidence is growing, which is good for France.
Talking about Chu Ameni
He is a hard-working person who is eager to succeed. He made the most of his time and he stayed true to himself.
Talking about the coaching team
For those players who play less, communication will be very important. We know that players who play less often can sometimes feel left out, but that's not the case here.
did not understand the criticism of the French team's game
Both sides were very involved in the first game, so the process of the game was obviously not the priority of both sides, and in the end we won the game. In the second game, I didn't think so either, we had a lot of chances. Although we had chances, it felt like we didn't play well. Our opponents were very defensive and when they made low interceptions it wasn't easy, but we still created chances and that's a positive.
talks about the French team's base and daily routine
There is a lot of rest time, time in the gym, and morning massages. For some of us, it was playing PlayStation or Uno in the afternoons... In the evenings we would get together, some of us would play poker, and we would all be together.
Talking about Konate
We are very similar and have a lot in common. We are always in a good mood, which is important. He was funny and always smiling.
