Klement on Spain
Klement: 'one of the two best teams in the world right now'. Yamal, Rodri, Pedri… Beats Croatia, then Belgium 3+ goals in the QF, then loses on penalties to the Netherlands in the SF. 'It's a cruel world if you are Spanish.'
Klement on France
Klement: 'absolutely brilliant' — Mbappé, Dembélé, Olise, Tchouaméni, Kanté, Upamecano. Beats Sweden, then Germany in the R16, but loses 1-0 to the Netherlands in the QF on an own goal.
“If you take this model seriously, you are deluding yourself.” — J. Klement
