Rabiot: “Theo has an important role. He played top matches in the national team”

Semi-final eve for France. Didier Deschamps’ national team will take to the field tomorrow evening at 9pm against Spain to play for a place in Berlin on Sunday evening. In view of the match against the Red Furies, the midfielder spoke at a press conference Adrien Rabiot. Among the topics discussed were the penalty kicks seen from the stands against Portugal: “It’s super stressful – he began – I had cramps while on the pitch I don’t have any. I don’t wish anyone to experience this situation as a player. The penalties were taken very well, it’s a great reward. I wanted them to win so I could get back on the pitch.

Theo Hernandez? He is a player who is less talked about in this team but who has an important role. This is an essential element. In Italy it is no longer necessary to introduce him. He is vice-captain of Milan. In Bleus he has played top matches. He also handles pressure very well, as we saw when he scored the decisive shot on goal.

He has a simple game but he does us a lot of good. He adapts very well to this defensive line. He is a really fundamental player, who combines very well with Kylian on the left. If everyone does their part we will go to the final”.
