The Lyon striker scored after a gap of four years in Les Bleus’ colours to give http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 an impressive 2-1 victory over Euro 2012 runners-up in a mouth watering friendly in Parma
The 27-year-old came off the bench to score the winner for his side in the 67th minute of the match. It was a brilliant move from the visitors and they deservedly got in front when Gomis met http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231’s low cross to put his side in front.
The France international was talking to reporters about the match and when asked about Les Bleus’ performance, the striker had only good things to say. Praising the coach, Gomis said that Deschamps’ tactics allowed France to get back in the game after conceding
an early goal.
On a question regarding his first international goal in four years, the Lyon player said that it’s a great feeling to be back on the score sheet for Les Bleus. The Frenchman added that he was in the right place at the right time, and when he saw Patrice
Evra getting ready to shoot, he put himself in good position and was fortunate to get a touch.
"I saw Patrice Evra getting ready to shoot. I had a similar situation at Le Havre (against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035 in August) but I didn't take it because the ball was a bit behind me but this time I threw myself at it and scored.”
Praising his teammates, Gomis said that it was a good team performance from France and they deserved to win on Wednesday. The player added that the win will help Les Bleus in their upcoming World Cup qualifiers and players’ morale are sky-high at the moment.
“I am happy for the squad as a whole and for myself because I hadn't scored in blue for a while. Four years is a long time for a striker.”
After drawing against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, which they did so in the end.
