In an interview with Le Parisien, Hugo Lloris spoke about the penalty shootout lost by France against Argentina during the last World Cup final in December 2022 (3-3, 4 tab 2).
The current Los Angeles goalkeeper says he took a moment to digest this painful setback against Lionel Messi’s Argentines. The former Tottenham player returned to the penalty shootout where he did not shine against the Albiceleste.
“During this last World Cup match, I didn’t stop a single one, and these images haunted me for several weeks, maybe even several months. For the penalty shootout, I took my place in the Argentines’ corner, under the boos, after having isolated myself for a little moment to breathe, because I was tired, “ he admitted.
Before continuing: “ I was very focused, I had studied the game of my opponents, but I knew that, at this level, success was needed, and not just experience, work or intuition. I looked back for a long time at the balls that had brushed against my hands, before ending up in the net. There was even one that I touched. »
