Luxembourg coach Luc Holtz is pleased with his team’s performance against France in their Group D Euro 2012 qualifier on Friday evening despite the 2-0 defeat.
Goals from Philippe Mexes and Yoann Gourcuff saw the hosts suffer their fourth defeat in the qualifying campaign but Holtz says that losing by just two goals displays how hard his players tried.
“Before the match, I thought that France would score a bunch of goals against us,” he said after the game, according to Lequipe.fr.
“However, looking at the ball possession and the number of opportunities we had, I think that we did quite well.”
Luxembourg are one of the weakest footballing nations in Europe and are currently stranded at bottom of the group, having mustered just one point from five fixtures.
