Aurelien Tchouameni, France midfielder, spoke to the media after a loss in Nations League game with Croatia:

- It's certain that when we met up at the start, we had other ambitions. But there's no need to worry. We didn't do well, and we owe it to ourselves to do better wearing the France shirt. It wasn't the case, we have to work.

We approached the games a little bit like preparation. The coach wanted to test some things. There are extenuating circumstances, even if we're not looking for excuses. There's no need to panic. We'll all be better come the next international window.
