 France-Portugal: "There is no spirit of revenge", says Lloris

This Sunday,

France host Portugal for its third Nations League match, crowned at its expense in the Euro 2016 final. Four years after this defeat, Hugo Lloris has turned the page.
This Saturday, on the eve of France-Portugal (8:45 p.m. at the Stade de France) on behalf of the League of Nations, Hugo Lloris was at a press conference in Saint-Denis. For the captain of the world champions, the first place in the group is partly played out this Sunday.
Over time, what do you think is Cristiano Ronaldo's main weapon?
HUGO LLORIS. He is an ultra-complete player. He is capable of doing anything. He has this ability to be decisive in almost every game. There is a lot of admiration for his career, his records, his longevity. There remains a threat. We will try to answer them collectively and do everything to win this match.
Did you digest the Euro 2016 final lost against Portugal?
It is a painful memory that belongs to the past. It's another game, in another context. Portugal are the reigning European champions. It will be a very, very big game. It will be necessary to live up to this decisive meeting. The points will be precious. But there is no spirit of revenge. This defeat is part of the history of the France team. The best thing that has happened to us is the title of world champion two years later. Tomorrow (this Sunday), we have a decisive match for the rest.
Six players present from Euro 2016 are still there. How has this France team evolved over the past four years?
The evolution of the two teams is more than positive. The Portuguese confirmed by winning the League of Nations and France the World Cup. Both teams are better but it has to be demonstrated and demonstrated again. There are always expectations around the France team. Tomorrow (this Sunday), it will be a test.
