PARIS: It is hard to notice that Hugo Lloris is captain of France, such is his calm, soft-spoken attitude. No screaming at his defenders; no flapping his hands at a bad decision by a linesman, no in-your-face celebrations when he makes a save. He will captain Les Bleus for the 55th time against Ireland in the last 16 of the European Championship on Sunday, breaking the record held by France coach Didier Deschamps. “It’s pleasing, but I’m focusing on the competition and going as far as possible,” Lloris said of the record on Saturday.
