Thierry HENRY (FRA)
A draw is a very disappointing result because the Koreans never looked dangerous. We played much better than we did against Switzerland and if we beat Togo we’ll be very close to qualifying. There’s no tension, anger or nervousness in the camp. It’s a shame we conceded a goal right at the end because we were very calm and were defending well.

Florent MALOUDA (FRA)
We’ve got to think about the Togo game now. We started off well and took the lead, but we weren’t able to get a second goal and that meant they were always in the game. We just have to get over it because it’s in the past now.

Patrick VIEIRA (FRA)
It’s very hard to take because we started the match really well and were in excellent physical shape. Then we let in a goal ten minutes from time and it killed us. It’s frustrating because we played so much better than against the Swiss. We’re not dead, though. We’ve got one game left and we’ll be keeping a close eye on Switzerland-Togo tomorrow.

Lilian THURAM (FRA)
I’m sure everything will work out for us. Everyone in the dressing room is very disappointed. The team was really keen to get out there, we created lots of chances. We played much better than in our first game, and much better than our opponents.

SEOL Ki-Hyeon (KOR)
I had no special instructions from the coach (Dick Advocaat) when he brought me into the game. Hopefully I'll have some good opportunities after I've played well in this World Cup.

LEE Chun-Soo (KOR)
It was really tough for me to work up and down both wings. I thought the French team were very well organised.

LEE-Ho (KOR)
When I went down, I thought I had concussion. The team doctor was also worried about that but I'm feeling better now. France are a very strong team but I wasn't afraid of facing them, probably because I had already played in a World Cup game (against Togo).

LEE Woon-Jae (KOR)

First of all, I’d like to say sorry to all the Korean people who are supporting us because I failed to keep my promise that we would get to second round with nine points. When I encountered Thiery Henry one on one in the last minute, there was no fear. Henry has a tendency to curve his shots towards the far post with his right foot. I could see what he wanted to do. If you watch the English Premier League, you can’t miss it.
