Arsenal defender Koscielny eager to build on first France cap

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is eager to build on his performance for France in their friendly win over USA.

Koscielny contributed to a clean sheet and a 1-0 win at the Stade de France and now he wants more.

"I am very happy," he told Arsenal Player. "I waited for this for a little while and now I have it. I am happy because it is a big achievement for me. I have worked a lot with my club and with the national team, so now I want to continue to play with France.

"It was my first cap so I was a little stressed. For the game I played alright with my partner Adil Rami. We talked a lot and we defended very well. We kept a clean sheet and for a defender that's the first thing you want."
