French praised debut, but fleeing the dreaded label of favorites: "It's early"

Bleus were not well when they started the World Cup as title contenders. With feet on the ground, Griezmann, Giroud and Lloris highlight quality team                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Spain, Holland and France ...? Even after the resounding victory in their opening World Cup by 3-0 over Honduras (see bids in the next video) , in the opinion of the players is better to let the country off the list of title favorites for now. And the consensus of the feet on the ground is logical for the team led by Didier Deschamps. In recent times it was considered one of the candidates for the pitcher, the selection disappoint: not passed the group stage 2002 after winning his first world championship in 1998; and repeated the early elimination in 2010, after being vice-world champion four years earlier. Maybe so, nothing to think about favoritism, ensures the attacker Griezmann. - It's early (to say can get you far). We'll rest well to participate.

Giroud echoed his companion. While praising the great performance against Honduras, where the staff was not threatened at some point and could stick to strong Honduran boom, the attacker warned that the players still do not want to assume this responsibility. The victory ended a fast Sunday the French that lasted since 2006, or four games without winning a match in World. - We are not favorites for this World Cup. We do not want to feel as favorites today. Even though we have played well, scored three goals ... It was a great night for us, but we do not say "oh, we are favorites" - claimed.

 

Spectator during most of the duel, the goalkeeper Lloris also highlighted the antics of the Bleus to overcome the difficulties of the first opponent in this                                                                                                      tournament.

- They play well, it was a very physical game, but we had a good response. We kept the ball down and create chances. I think we did well because we scored three goals. Absence of playmaker Ribery, injured on the eve of the World, was considered as one of the biggest problems being faced by the Bleus in Brazil. But now the premiere team proved to have enough to fight for the championship attacking force. And the main emphasis now is on Benzema, scorer of two goals in his first match in a World Cup. 

- We know that we will find opponents who will expect us (behind), but we always try to make a good game, and we have a large striker is easier - praised Griezmann.

After facing Honduras, France leads Group E with three points and three goals of balance, and will face Switzerland, who also won on his debut, but with only one goal difference. Finally, Les Bleus face Ecuador, which has not scored.
