The Blues are getting closer to the Olympic Games after their large victory against Tunisia.
Find the reactions the French after this meeting.
Valentine’s door (French team winger): “We made the game fairly easy from the start. It allowed us to run, even if two matches in two days, it’s hard to manage. But physically, I think we will be more in canes than the Portuguese. We’ll see tomorrow (Sunday). We are rather on a favorable waiver but nothing is over. We’re not going to take this game lightly and we’re going to play it to win it.
Portugal is a good nation, which we know well and which knows us well. If we think we can afford to lose, we risk a big setback. We will rest well and play to win and respect the competition and everyone. We want to win all three matches. We are not afraid of Portugal but it is a team that knew how to beat us. A few weeks ago, we gave them a small volley at the World Cup and they may be keen to take revenge. “
Hugo Descat (France team winger): “The best way not to be afraid is not to calculate. We will play to win and nothing else. The ticket to Tokyo is not registered and anything can happen. We are keen to play a big game tomorrow. “

Melvyn Richardson (France team right-back): “It was a serious game from start to finish. We will remember that there were no injuries, we were able to run and store freshness for the decisive match tomorrow. We’re going to go there to win. The Olympics are a dream. I had the chance to experience them as a spectator, to experience it as a player would be a dream. It is not 100% done. It’s up to us to end on a good note and be serious tomorrow. “
Ludovic Fabregas (pivot of the France team): “I think the team has gained confidence in this match against Tunisia. We had a good start to the match, as we had against Croatia. We were complete overall, even if we slowed down a bit in the second half. We will approach this match against Portugal with a lot of concentration and humility. When you wear the France team jersey, it’s to win matches and titles.
That will be the goal for tomorrow, winning against Portugal to ensure our qualification for the Olympic Games. We went in commando mode on this TQO. Even if there is no public, we will be keen to have a great match against Portugal and to qualify undefeated in this TQO, that could send a strong signal to the competition. ”

Guillaume Gille (France team coach): “There was a configuration that could qualify us tonight, but we knew full well that this mini-championship left many possible scenarios. Today he gives us one last final to play. It’s a very complicated match, because the opponent is of very high quality.
It’s a high-stakes game, because they have to beat us to be able to see the Olympics. For us, the idea is to validate our course. This match is essential for both countries. We have the last part of the springboard that can send us to Tokyo to build. The watchword will be to put yourself in commando mission mode again to win this third victory. ”
