The coach of the Blues does not condemn the three-defender system even if he recognizes the difficulties of his team, victorious Tuesday over Croatia in the League of Nations (4-2), to evolve in this pattern.

Were you blown away by the entry into play of Eduardo Camavinga?

DIDIER DESCHAMPS.

I had already spoken to him at the start of the internship to ask him to keep his naturalness.

It is not easy to wear the jersey of the France team even if the public was not there.

But he's so comfortable.

Athletically, he's fine and he has that ability in using the ball.

He gives off a lot of serenity, he has the potential to come back.

How do you explain the hard first 45 minutes of the France team?

And what is your assessment of this 3-5-2 system?

45 minutes is exaggerated, the first 30 rather.

We were in difficulties, we were not in the rhythm.

The Croats were very aggressive, we lost the duels, and we were technically shy.

Afterwards, we took over.

But leading 2-1 at the break was pretty flattering.

Our second half was more consistent, better, with some forward play.

The system is far from perfect, but we have to go through difficult times.

It takes repetition in order to have automatisms.

Like all systems, there are advantages and disadvantages, but this system is not doomed.

It's normal to have difficulties, and I'd rather meet them now than during the competition.

Are you satisfied with the performance of Anthony Martial?

I'm not going to say he's transfigured, but he's changed.

He is at an age where he realizes what he is capable of doing.

He experienced the high level in the France team very early on, but here he proves that he is on the right track.

Did Griezmann finally kick off his season with this match?

His season has not yet started.

I spoke with him, he needed rhythm.

I suspected he was going to do a lot better, there was more binding in his game and he has a good technical relationship with Anthony Martial.

The team needs Antoine at this level.

How do you explain the defensive difficulties of your team, which conceded more chances than in Sweden?

There is the quality of the adversary.

But the Croats only had 3 chances and again the 2nd goal was avoidable.

It should also be noted that the 3 players of the axis (

Editor's note: Upamecano, Lenglet and Hernandez

) were also playing together for the first time.

There are things to rectify and we will correct, but I am not obsessed with this system.
