"Blaise Matuidi from France says that the national team will show an even better game.
A victory with a minimal result against Peru today secured their spot in the World Cup quarterfinals, although much stronger performances were expected from one of the tournament favorites.
In the first match against Australians, Didier Deschamps' players seemed uncertain and barely secured a 2-1 victory.
"It's great to achieve two wins in two matches," Matuidi told "beIN Sports."
"During the game, we can perform better. We did what was necessary for the victory, we had opportunities in the first half. We also responded to Peru's physical play."
"The opponents did everything to make it difficult for us. They pressured us fiercely, it felt like playing away from home."
"We were solid even in our weak moments. This World Cup is tough for everyone. Congratulations to Peru, who are eliminated despite a great match."
For the first place in the group, France will face the Danish footballers."
