Konaté: We must continue to improve, and the second half was better

Ibrahima Konaté, defender for the France national team, confirmed the importance of winning against Türkiye and securing qualification for the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals, stressing the need to continue developing despite some mistakes that appeared during the match.

Ibrahima Konaté said: "We focus on the result after the defeat against Italy, and qualifying was important. We always have to improve, and the second half was better."

He added: "We will continue to work with the coach, who managed the players' playing time over the week. We have shown good things in these matches."

He continued: "When the score was 2-0, we could have scored another goal or maintained our lead, but we gave the opponent a corner."

He concluded his statements by saying: "It's ridiculous that no one is watching a player from the opposing team. I don't know who is responsible for that, but I will find him in the dressing room and hold him accountable."
