France defender Mamadou Sakho and his teammates will be filled with ‘rage’ when they take on Germany in the World Cup quarterfinals.Not because they have anything personal against the Germans, but because they are still feeling the anger and desperation after barely qualifying for the tournament in Brazil. Sakho has been France’s vice captain since the second leg of the World Cup play-offs against Ukraine. With the team trailing 0-2 after a dire performance in Kiev, Sakho scored in a 3-0 win, and his passionate performance sparked a remarkable turnaround. Since then, France is unbeaten in eight games and has kept six clean sheets.
‘Of course, I still have the rage inside me from that game. We all have a little bit of that rage inside of us. We’re a very young team with new players. We’ve instilled a new spirit into the team,’ off the pitch, first of all and it reflects on the pitch. We know that Germany is a big team, a big football nation. But we’re also very good and I believe in us,’ the Liverpool defender said on Wednesday.
