French star Robert Piré was interviewed by Goal about this summer's European Championship and the Spanish team that has been criticized in the group stage.
"France is in a very good state, but there are a lot of good teams in this cup, like the Italian team we saw. A lot of people are criticizing Spain, but I think their quality and level are good. ”
If Spain can knock out Croatia and France can beat Switzerland, the two teams will meet in the quarter-finals. In response, Pires said: "It shows that both teams are doing very well, they will fight for victory and trophies, I don't know what will happen in the future, but I would like to see France and Spain play together." ”
"For me, there are a lot of good players in Spain and every time I play with Spain at that moment, we all know it's very tough. At Euro 2000, we had that experience. Still, I'm looking forward to the match between France and Spain. ”
