The head coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, showed up after defeating Belgium (1:0) in the 1/8 finals of the Euro.

“We clearly added, and our opponent acted even more carefully, wanting to respect the attack team on paper. We were timid all the time, to create moments. And we created more than one supernik. We were picked and not lost in their paste. I'm using radium, but it's impossible to transfer it with a zagale, just with water.

If everyone was expecting us to reach the quarterfinals, otherwise there would be some kind of reception. Nothing happens just by clicking. Now we are really at the quarterfinals, and this is a very important phase,” Deschamps said.
