France, which produced many stars such as Henry, Trezeguet, and Pogba through this tournament, is a ‘champion candidate’ aiming to regain the top spot in 10 years.
However, our players, who dreamed of seeing the ‘runner-up myth’ in the last tournament, are full of spirit.
There is no outstanding star like Lee Kang-in four years ago, but I am determined to face it with solid organizational power.
