Theo Hernandez, one of France’s heroes in Thursday’s semi-final victory over Morocco, discussed the upcoming title matchup with Argentina and offered a sneak peek at the French plan to outwit the Messi-led South American team. Argentina and France will compete in the final FIFA World Cup 2022 match on December 18.
Both Argentina and France had a difficult path to the championship game because of their shocking group-stage defeats to Saudi Arabia and Tunisia. Now, both nations will compete for the title of tournament champion for the third time. There is a lot of attention paid to Lionel Messi, the superstar player from Argentina, as the countdown to the greatest football tournament’s final game begins.
In addition to the expectation of yet another display of natural talent and brilliance from Messi, he has also announced his retirement from international football after the title match for Argentina. Due to the high stakes, the buildup to the final is getting hotter. France, the current World Champions, wants to become the first nation since Brazil in 1962 to defend their title and the third nation in tournament history.
Theo Hernandez, one of France’s heroes in Thursday’s semi-final victory over Morocco, discussed the upcoming title matchup with Argentina and offered a sneak peek at the French plan to outwit the Messi-led South American team. “Winning this semi-final was nice, but we must be 100% on Sunday. After Argentina’s semi-final victory on Thursday, Hernandez told RAI Sport” Messi does not frighten us. The team in Argentina is phenomenal.”
“We have a few days to work and prepare properly,” Hernandez added. “It’s an incredible experience to play in two World Cup finals simultaneously. We accomplished a lot. We made it to the final, which was hard, he added. “To win this final, we will work hard. He went on to say, “I also have a big thought for my brother,” referring to Lucas Hernandez, who is also on the France squad but has been out with a knee injury since France’s 4-1 group stage victory over Australia.
