Deschamps already focuses on Paraguay: 'They have this South American DNA'
Didier Deschamps, coach of the French national team, analyzes the victory over Sweden and is already focusing on the next match against Paraguay, highlighting the strength of the South American team.
France reaffirmed their status as World Cup favorites by convincingly beating Sweden. Coach Didier Deschamps, satisfied with his players' performance, is already looking ahead to the next challenge against Paraguay.
Deschamps, who returned to command after leaving for his mother's funeral, praised the team's performance, especially with the highlight of Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise. "We won comfortably, although we could have been more effective in the first half", said the coach in an interview with French television.
The focus now is Paraguay, which surprised by eliminating Germany. "I saw the game. It wasn't by chance. The German team is really strong and Paraguay has that South American DNA: they are persistent and solid in duels. But they also have good players", commented Deschamps.
"You don't qualify for the round of 16 of the World Cup for nothing. We are taking our time to analyze Paraguay. We have two days to celebrate this victory, but then we will return to focus", added the coach, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the team's mentality and determination.
Expectations are high for the clash, which promises to be a great challenge for the French.
