D. Deschamps: Our Rivals Fear

French national team coach Didier Deschamps said that his students will need to learn to reconcile with opponents who close up defensively.

Yesterday, they managed to achieve a victory against the Swedish national team with a score of 2-1, but Les Bleus definitely had trouble creating chances.

However, in the end, Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payet's goals brought them three points.

"There are many teams that will defend against us - we have already experienced this against the Netherlands. This shows that our opponents are afraid of us and we need to find solutions," Deschamps told TF1.

"I did not expect an easy match, so it's nice to have three more points."

"The match was difficult for us because Sweden is a good team. They are very strong physically and well organized. They played in a classic 4-4-2 and felt comfortable with the ball."

"When the opponent closes up defensively, it is necessary to keep moving with the ball and do it quickly. It's never easy."

Yesterday, the French national team became the sole leader of Group A.
