“Don’t you think he’s already made history? With what he’s done so far? He wants to make even more history. We did everything we could with him and the medical staff to get him here. During the preparations, he also had a little back problem, but Kylian is here. Although he is not at 100%, I know very well that for rivals, knowing that he is here also conditions them, and even so they are forced to adapt.”
Deschamps admits that France is missing a goal: “It is not a criticism, it is a fact. We are less effective in attack than before, but that has not prevented us from being there and well there in the semifinals, once again. Afterwards, there are always criticisms. What interests me is the internal life, between what I see, everything we have to do with all my staff, everything that is outside, I live with that, and I live very well (smiles).”
