Kunde: First of all, it is a pity that we are not in the final.

The defender of the French national team, Jules Kunde, commented in the match for the third place of the 2026 World Cup against England (4:6). "In the first half we played very, very badly for many reasons. In the second half we were much more in line with what we should do in the blue shirt. It was not enough, although we created a lot of chances in the second half. We are all disappointed to end the tournament with a second defeat and not be able to give the coach a win. First of all, it is a pity that we are not in the final - it is a difficult match to play. Personally, I think that the match for the third place should not be held, because it is very difficult for an athlete to play it after you have prepared for only one goal - the final. At the same time, we should have done more. Overall, we left a positive impression and people enjoyed watching us play, but this ending leaves a bitter taste," L'Equipe quoted Deschamps as saying.
