William Lintasa, defender for the French national team, spoke about the importance of fighting at the World Cup despite experiencing health problems.
William Lintasa, defender for the French national team, revealed that he had been experiencing minor health problems over the past few months. "I had to endure the pain because there was the Champions League and the Premier League. However, the coaching staff handled the situation well. The World Cup is only held every four years, so I had to endure. I may not be in the best condition, but many other players are also in the same situation — there is no place to look for excuses," Saliba told ESPN. In the first match, France managed to beat Senegal with a score of 3-1, and they will face Norway on June 27 in the third match.
