France captain Hugo Lloris says his team have accepted the decision to play Tuesday's friendly against England following last week's terror attacks in Paris was the right one.
French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet said that he had made the call to go ahead with the match himself despite the fact that the country is in mourning over the deaths of 129 people in Friday's shocking violence.
The Stade de France was one of the venues targeted by suicide bombers and two loud explosions were heard during the first half of France's 2-0 win over Germany.
The players were only informed of what happened after the game and midfielder Lassana Diarra later revealed that his cousin had lost her life in one of the other attacks in Paris.
The French team spent the next two days at their headquarters in Clairefontaine before travelling to London with a full squad on Monday morning.
Speaking at Wembley, Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris, 28, said that the players had eventually come around to Le Graet's way of thinking.
"During this type of event, I think we obviously wanted to be close to our families," he said in a news conference. "Everything happened very quickly in terms of the decision that needed to be taken.
"But we weren't cut off from the world at all. We were with each other and we talked a lot about these tragic events.
"We followed everything that happened either via TV or the internet.
"We're human -- naturally we had some doubts about whether we should play or not, whether we should return to our families or stay together.
"But I think that all of that was very well managed by the coach, the technical staff and the president."
Lloris said that the French nation is more important than the French team and that the players would be doing their best to represent their country and the victims.
He also said that while it would be emotional for the French players, support from the English team and the home fans means that Tuesday's game will be a "very big moment of solidarity."
"We're very touched by all the messages of support from across the world as well but more precisely in England and here in London," he said. "I know the English very well. They're very respectful when it comes to things like this.
"And tomorrow they'll certainly commemorate with us during the national anthems and throughout before the game."
