In the absence of Selma Bacha through injury, are you an option to replace her on the left? “One of the strengths of this collective is precisely that we are several very versatile players. There are several of us who can play in this position. I did it in the past against Colombia and Canada (in April), so I can be one of the choices for that position. But the mindset of the group is that no matter what position we are in, we give the best of ourselves. Playing on the left, I think that changes compared to the benchmarks I had on the right, because if I take the ball and I have to cross, it will necessarily be on the wrong foot. But it can also allow me to get on my right foot to strike. In the end, what will be asked right and left, it will be similar things. We also know that Sakina (Karchaoui, left back) likes to take his lane a lot, so it can also allow you to combine on the side.
What do you think of the opponents in your group? “They have different registers. We will start against Jamaica, a team that puts a lot of physical impact. We are going to be expected on the athletic level and we will have to face this aspect, we also manage to respond on the technical level. Then there will be Brazil, we know that they have been working for many years, they have many young players who are now reaching maturity and they also have experienced players so it will be a very good meeting. And finally, Panama, we know them a little less. But we will already focus on the opposition against Jamaica.
