What the local media say

當地媒體聲音

"'This could have been more than perfect,' Didier Deschamps, the French coach, told the cameras after the game. He suggested he was not happy that his team had conceded two late goals. 'We were up against a good team and to score five goals and win 5:2, it was a very good evening. Six points after two matches is ideal. We have to wait for the next match but we have a good goal difference and the next match will decide first and second place.'" - France 24.

法國24電視臺：德尚在結束與瑞士隊的比賽后接受記者的采訪時說：“這場比賽本該更加完美。”法國隊在比賽快結束時連失兩球，這讓德尚有些不快。“我們面對的是一支優秀的球隊，能進5個球并以5-2拿下比賽，這可以說是一個美好的夜晚。兩場比賽過后積6分，這也是理想的結果。我們還得看下一場比賽，才能確定是小組第一還是第二，不過我們有凈勝球的巨大優勢。”

"Meanwhile, the captain of the Ecuadorian team, Antonio Valencia, has warned of the danger that France pose and stated that any team that has technical (manager) Deschamps is dangerous. 'France can harm you with three choices in one day. It will change your way of playing and thinking. We have to be very focused,' said the Manchester United player. 'We hope to all reach the game in good shape for tomorrow.'" - El Tiempo.

厄瓜多爾《時代報》：厄瓜多爾隊長安東尼奧·瓦倫西亞（Antonio Valencia）已經發出警告，讓隊友們準備好應對法國隊的威脅。他還說，任何球隊有德尚這樣的技術型教練都是危險的。“法國隊一天之內會有三種打擊你的選擇。這會改變你踢球和思考的方式。我們必須非常專注于比賽，”這位曼聯球員說，“我們希望所有的隊員在明天的比賽中都能展現出良好的狀態。”

Key battle: Frickson Erazo vs Olivier Giroud

關鍵對位：弗里克森·埃拉索VS吉魯

Against Switzerland, the striker showed the sort of form that Arsenal fans had been hoping to see more of last season - a display of aggression and smarts; Giroud scored one and set up another in the 5-2 rout. "Olivier was extraordinary," says Karim Benzema. "He scored and created a lot." He even managed to hospitalise Steve von Bergen having accidentally booted the defender in the face.

在與瑞士隊的比賽中，吉魯展現出了阿森納球迷在上賽季一直希望看到的良好狀態——踢得既有侵略性又有靈性。在這場5-2的大勝中，吉魯打進一球并參與了另一個進球。本澤馬說：“吉魯真是了不起。他不僅打進一球，還制造了許多機會。”吉魯甚至不小心踢到了馮貝爾根（Steve von Bergen）的臉上，把他送進了醫院。

"Big Mistake": that's Erazo's nickname (<<"Erra?o">>) among the fans of his home club Flamengo, though his defensive partner Jorge Guagua is hardly a rock of reliability. Against these two, France could prosper.

“大錯誤”，這是埃拉索（Frickson Erazo）所在俱樂部弗拉門戈隊球迷給他取的綽號，盡管他的防守搭檔瓜瓜（Jorge Guagua）也不太靠譜。面對這樣兩個后衛，法國隊可能順利過關。
