In the first period we dominated. At the break, it was re-motivated and we recovered well physically. After this, we were stronger than them, more incisive in the tackle. In the locker room at halftime, we looked at and we said that the score was even two years ago at the same stage (France had lost 4-0 in the final of European Championship Under-17 Championship against Spain, in 2008). We lost the final two years ago and we know what that means. Before this game, we said that whatever happens we had to win to erase it. There has been tremendous in the second period because we took the advantage and we deserved to win. "

It has not flinched in the second period. We played our game and it was over physically. The 12th man (the 20,000 fans at the stadium) also made the difference. "
