Loïc Rémy’s mindset ahead of France’s opener against Honduras shows the typical mix of respect and confidence needed for World Cup matches. Even if Honduras was lower in the FIFA rankings, underestimating any World Cup opponent can be costly, so Rémy’s focus on not letting them “walk all over us” reflects a professional and pragmatic approach.
His emphasis on scoring early is spot-on — early goals often help calm nerves and shape the flow of the game, especially in high-pressure tournaments like the World Cup.
The fact that Rémy didn’t expect to necessarily start but was ready to “take what the coach gives me” shows his team-first attitude, which is crucial in a squad with strong attacking competition.
