"It's just fantastic, a goal for your country is something quite special" announced Mathieu Valbuena to the Press after his first cap and first goal for France on Wednesday against Costa Rica in Lens (2-1). "Just taking part in a World Cup is exceptional for any player, coming on and scoring is extraordinary, nevermind offering your team the victory" he added it was reported on lequipe.fr.
But, the Olympian does not feel that his great debut has given him any extra points before the finals: "Being part of the squad is enough for me, it is not a lack of ambition but a sign of humility. I'm continuing my road and keeping on working hard".
