France defender Ibrahima Konate says his team respects Spain's strong defense and quality ahead of their World 2026 semi-final clash, but they are not intimidated. Spain have only conceded one goal in the tournament so far.
Konate emphasized that while France acknowledges the strength of their opponents, the team remains confident and focused on their own game plan. The French squad is preparing thoroughly for the challenge posed by Spain's disciplined defensive structure and technical ability.
