Rabiot: We Showed Resilience and Determination

France midfielder Adrien Rabiot shared his thoughts after their 2-0 victory over Morocco in the World Cup quarter-finals. He analyzed the opponent's performance on the pitch and emphasized the significance of the current generation's achievement for "Les Bleus."

"In moments when we didn't have possession and allowed them the ball, we felt they weren't dangerous, and there was nothing to fear from this team. That was our feeling on the pitch. Morocco remains a squad capable of making a difference at certain times, as they possess exceptional individual talent. However, we were very disciplined. We used the ball effectively and stayed in the game even after Kylian's missed penalty. This demonstrates the strength of our team – we showed resilience and determination," Rabiot stated.

The footballer firmly rejected the notion that France's successes have become routine.

"We are by no means taking for granted the fact that we will be playing in a third consecutive World Cup semi-final. In the locker room, we were incredibly happy. This squad is exceptional. For me personally, this will be my second consecutive World Cup semi-final. Very few generations in the history of the French national team have experienced something like this. It's an extraordinary achievement," the Frenchman added.
