They are already thinking about Peru. Paul Pogba, who gave victory to France against Australia (2-1), applauded the use of VAR (Video Assistant Referee), and warned about the potential of their next opponent: the Peruvian team "very strong".
Technology was very present in the match that opened Group C of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, since thanks to VAR the referee first whistled a penalty that had been overlooked and then, with the help of goal line technology, awarded a goal to France in a ball that had narrowly crossed the goal line.
"Today I can say that it helped the team a lot. If we hadn't seen the video, we couldn't have said it was a penalty. It's important that VAR has been positive for us. When we saw the video on TV, it is clear that it is a clear penalty," Pogba said in the mixed zone of the Kazan Arena stadium.
Asked about their next opponent in the group stage, the Peruvian national team led by Ricardo Gareca, France's number 6 had words of praise and predicted it will be "a difficult match".
"We know that they haven't lost in the last 13 matches and that they are a very strong South American team, that presses a lot. It's going to be a difficult match," emphasized Pogba / EFE.
