What do you think?: France star walks out over this question Despite his disappointment over the semifinal defeat to Spain (0–2), Rayan Cherki faced the journalists’ questions after the final whistle. The France star spoke at length about why his team had lost. When he was then asked about his playing time, he reacted with visible irritation. “Would you personally have liked to be brought on earlier?” a journalist asked him. “What do you think?” the Man City star replied before ending the interview. Cherki had come on for Michael Olise in the 72nd minute but was unable to prevent the defeat. “I tried to spark a comeback,” he admitted, before adding: “I don’t think it was down to a lack of desire. Tactically, they were simply better positioned. We tried to solve those problems, but it wasn’t enough. We’re in a World Cup semifinal, so naturally every detail matters — and today the disappointment is just enormous.” In the end, the French had let the game slip away through their own mistakes. “We didn’t lose against the referee, we didn’t lose against Spain, we lost against ourselves. You all know it, we all know that everyone was afraid of us. The only team that could eliminate us was ourselves,” said the 22-year-old before being asked the question that prompted him to end the interview himself.
