France midfielder Moussa Sissoko spoke on Tuesday (5th July) ahead of his side's Euro 2016 semi-final against Germany

SOUNDBITE: (French) Moussa Sissoko, France midfielder:

"We know it will be a difficult semi-final against the German team, who are the world champions, but we're playing at home with our own public in the beautiful Stade Velodrome, that will be full I think. We have all the weapons to play a good game and to qualify."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Moussa Sissoko, France midfielder:

"We know that goals are often scored at the end of a game, because players are tired. So I think the beginning of the game will be very important and we will try not to concede, defend well and be solid, to play our game as we showed against Iceland and I hope we can score."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Moussa Sissoko, France midfielder:

"We haven't forgotten that game at the World Cup (in the quarter-finals at Brazil 2014) when we lost 1-0 (against Germany). That sticks in our craw. This is the perfect opportunity to set the record straight."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Moussa Sissoko, France midfielder:

"They are a very, very strong team, but we too have shown good things during this competition. We're playing at home, so with our fans that can change the game. Therefore I would say our chances are fifty-fifty."
