France players ashamed of draw
Published in FilGoal on 19 - 06 - 2006

France players aren't feeling sad about the draw against Korea rather than they are ashamed of it, Thierry Henry said.
Henry put France ahead in the ninth minute but Ji-Sung Park volleyed home in the 81st minute to equalize and leave France with two points from two games.
"There's no tension, anger or nervousness in the camp. It's a shame we conceded a goal right at the end," the Arsenal captain was quoted as saying by FIFAworldcup.com on Sunday.
"A draw is a very disappointing result because the Koreans never looked dangerous. We played much better than we did against Switzerland."
No team have secured qualification from Group G yet, with the Koreans atop the standings with four points. Switzerland, with one point to their credit, play rooted Togo on Monday.
Central midfielder Patrick Vieira echoed similar sentiments. Yet, he showed a more optimistic side.
"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," he said.
"We're not dead, though. We've got one game left and we'll be keeping a close eye on Switzerland-Togo tomorrow."
The 1998 champions will take on debuting Togo in the last group-stage match and a win over the African side could book their ticket to the next round depending on the result of the other tie.
Ji-Sung, on the other hand, said the Koreans' good physical shape was the main reason behind producing two comebacks against Togo and France.
"The first half was very difficult for us but we were back in the game in the second half. As we did against Togo, we did better the longer the game went on," he said.
Despite scoring his side's only goal and being named the man of the match, the Manchester United man thought he could do more for Korea.
"I'm not satisfied with my performance. I tried to concentrate on getting into scoring positions, then luckily enough I managed to score," Ji-Sung said.
