Didier Deschamps, head coach of the French national football team, spoke about his victory over Nigeria and his thoughts on the competition with Germany in the quarterfinals.
“The quarter final is not just another stage of the tournament. Entering the top eight of the strongest teams means that we have already deservedly performed in the World Championship. I’m proud of the progress that the team is showing, – Deschamps was quoted as saying by RMC. – I’m realistic, so I’m not thinking about the final game. Now we have to prepare well for the match with the German national team.
As for the match against Nigeria, we expected it to be a tough game. By the way, the team did not feel any pressure. We knew that we could play the final part very strongly.
Of course, the game with the Germans will be a new test for us. The competitor has a lot of experience. German footballers have adapted to such a high level of football. Nevertheless, we intend to fight for victory.
Regarding the personnel situation, I can say that Mamadou Sakho will be ready for the upcoming game.”
