JAKARTA - France captain Hugo Lloris is motivated to bring his team to the 2022 World Cup title. Because, if that happens, there will be a new record recorded by Lloris.

After passing Morocco in the semifinals, Lloris must again deploy his teammates to perform optimally in the final round. The reason is, in that decisive match they will face Argentina who also have a mission to end the fasting of the title after 36 years.

With the challenges that lie ahead, Lloris is believed to be able to appear full of enthusiasm. Moreover, there is one rare record he can achieve if France wins the World Cup.

Quoted from Sportsmole, the 35-year-old goalkeeper could be the first captain to lift the World Cup trophy twice in a row. This of course can perfect Lloris' achievement when breaking the record for the Bull Chicken Team caps in this tournament.

We have a golden opportunity to become part of French history. This is our second final in the last four years," Lloris said on the official FIFA website quoted from Sportsmole on Friday, December 16.

Before Lloris made that history, there were several team captains who tried it first but failed. Factors vary, ranging from the team losing in the final or the player no longer serving as captain.

Then there was Diego Maradona who captained the 1986 world champion Argentina, but he failed to make history in the next four years because in the Argentine final he was defeated by West Germany.

Carlos Dunga also suffered the same fate after becoming Brazil's captain in the 1994 World Cup final, but failed in Paris four years later.
