“Completely frustrating, but we will beat him,” says Sakina Karchaoui after leaving Euro 2025 in France
Sakina Karchaoui spoke in a mixed zone after France eloted the team eliminated from Germany on penalties despite playing with a player more for most matches.
You gave everything you had. It was Germany Who was too strong tonight?
“I don’t share your opinion. I think we just had to kill the game with 11. They may have been more determined in that match. We had a weapon, but it didn’t happen today.” It just didn’t happen. “
“It’s true that it’s frustrating. I don’t want to speak from order, but it’s completely frustrating. We had so much faith in this group, in what we built and so on.
“But we don’t have to throw everything out; on the contrary, you have to take a lot of positive things from that. And one day it will pass, we know that.”
What were you supposed to kill the game?
“That’s the question. I don’t think I want to take myself. You need to look again, you have to calm down. But I think we should kill the game from 10.
“Two targets are disabled. I don’t know why the other is forbidden. I was told that it could have been Maelle (Lakrar) in a position, I don’t know … But then it was an emotional rollercoaster and we lost ourselves on punishment.
“It’s true that it’s completely frustrating, but we’ll beat him.”
Laurent Bonadei told us before the game that you did not necessarily have a special training for training sentences. Did you miss me tonight?
“No, not really. Because Action (Your mother) works on them every day, I work on them every day, there are girls who do not work on them who have also achieved. So no, I don’t think that’s it. That’s exactly the way it is.
“I don’t know what to say about it. Some say it’s a lottery, some say it’s a mental exercise. I just think you should win the game and you didn’t go to punishment.”
Why is it Alice Sombath Take the seventh penalty when there were more experienced players in the group?
“When we were in the group, we said those who took the shocks were those who felt like they were taking them. We don’t want to push someone to leave if they don’t feel like Aice. And Alice has an experience.
“It is also the strength of our group, to relieve in everyone’s experience and here with the penalties, although there is so, that’s it, that’s it, that’s it, that’s it, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s a wiggar game and you have to accept them.”
Did you think it was done and poured after falling 1-0 with 11 against 10?
“No, I don’t think so. Because as we toured the burden, we said it was still 0-0 and we had to be alone at that moment, we did not feel any better or more beautiful.
“But the truth is that we had to kill the game and didn’t do it. So we’ll have to work that on the next few sessions.”
They put you physically through a heavy duel. Did that affect the way you played?
“No, not really. They just played almost exclusively long balls.
“It’s true that we’re not in a job to play a long game. I think we were better at the beginning, because they played their game, obviously. It was more practical for us.
“But you always have to look at the game to see where we weren’t good and put things in the next time.”
