Henri MICHEL:

Comments from NANTES

"After our great result against NORWAY, this time we'll be tackling the "Mount Everest" of football – that is, the world champions. It's true that we have nothing to lose in this meeting, we going to have to play an offensive game to attempt the impossible, that is to bring home the three victory points. I respect their whole team; their teamwork, the players as individuals and their sense of realism. After their win against SCOTLAND, BRAZIL might be happy enough to just coast through this game. A Moroccan win won't be easy, but with the same formation we had in the first match, which doesn't need any changes, anything can happen. In spite of the fact that I'm almost on home ground, I think there'll be more Brazilians out there than Moroccans and locals put together."
