Special envoys in Budapest
The impact of the heat on Saturday in Budapest
“If I tell you that, it will be interpreted as an apology. The full stadium was a tremendous help for them. The scenario of the match made them have more energy. The physiological adaptation to this schedule and the temperature had more of an impact on us than the opponent. Despite everything, we have chances in the first half, we lack realism and they score on one occasion. We had the merit of coming back to the score, we have to be satisfied at times but I'm not happy with the result, be careful. We did not lose it, that makes one more point and we have the cards in hand for the 3rd game. "
Are the Blues too individualistic?
“I didn't get that feeling at all. There were some very good sequences, especially in the first half. Individual action is part of football. We did not give up, but we shoot 15 times, scoring only one goal. It is never a long calm river, we weren't going to crush everyone and with these 4 points we are on time. Even if the ideal would have been to have 6. ”
Still no goal for Benzema
“With his experience and life, I don't think there is any doubt.
Like any striker, he does very good things but he lacks to materialize.
He has had enough experience to ignore it.
He knows very well that he is expected on this aspect, even if, and I told him, it is not only that.
The main thing is that he keeps his confidence and my confidence.
"
“We lacked freshness and pep to put them more in difficulty.

Didier Deschamps
Pogba and Rabiot blunt in midfield
“They were all a bit blunt, not them more than the others. Paul it shows more with his size. There was a little lack of juice, Adrien also in the second half. That's why I changed them. It's the sequence, we did everything to adapt as best as possible to this schedule. Again this is no excuse but the players were asking for a drink every five minutes. We lacked freshness and pep to put them more in difficulty. "
The relative understanding of the three French attackers
“The margin is still there.
They have quality and can have complementarity.
It's not just them.
You are used to dissociating them from the midpoints and the sides.
They have few matches together despite their quality and talent.
It can always be better.
"
The meeting against Portugal
“It doesn't especially change my approach.
Either way, the last game would have mattered.
There he has a larger one.
I do not exclude a rotation between the players with the match sequence every 4 days.
Freshness is important, we lacked it today, it was difficult for our organizations but the Hungarians were more dynamic than us.
