France will face Paraguay in the World Cup Round of 16. Due urged that all details must be perfected.


France, nicknamed the "Les Bleus," will travel to Lincoln Financial Stadium to face Paraguay in a crucial Round of 16 match at the 2026 World Cup. Paris Saint-Germain striker Duet stated that being considered the favorite doesn't bring extra pressure; they simply need to improve in every detail to win the game.


In the round of 32, France, thanks to a brace from Mbappe and a goal from Barcola, defeated Sweden 3-0, securing their place in the round of 16.


French striker Duai said in an interview, "We don't feel any extra pressure from being considered a favorite to win the title, and we will only focus on ourselves."


"We were considered favorites before the World Cup started, and we still are tomorrow when we face Paraguay. But being a favorite doesn't guarantee a win. We have to do everything right and take the game seriously."


Due pointed out, "Our defense is very solid, we have excellent players in midfield, and we have the best strikers in the world up front."


"The head coach has built a team of 26 players, and everyone has their own responsibilities. I am ready to give 100% effort whenever I get a chance to play."


In addition, Paraguay, coached by Gustavo Alfaro, defeated Germany 4-3 in a penalty shootout in the round of 32 to advance to the round of 16, which boosted the players' confidence.


Speaking about their upcoming match against Paraguay, Due said, "They are a very good team. We've watched videos of their games, and they have many high-quality players. Their defense will be very tenacious, and they've accumulated quite a few yellow cards. We must be prepared and deliver an even better performance."
