"Fervor does not score goals": Deschamps wary before challenging Morocco

I don't like the term hostile, it puts a negative aspect.

They have a

, so much the better for them.

It makes a lot of noise, my observers have told me that over and over again.

My players have been warned.

Afterwards, support or fervor do not score goals.

Preparing for a match also means preparing for what will be on the pitch and the environment.

The message is passed on to the players.

For my part, I don't change the objective from one game to another.

It's always the desire to have the ball, to create problems for the opponent and to score.

It is a balance of power.

That we are as skilful as the Moroccan team on rapid transitions, it is a moment when the opponent is in an offensive position, with zones not occupied and in a few seconds we manage to create shifts and score goals .

Morocco is not giving up on having the ball, everyone has their game plan. But the France team will start the match to get it as much as possible.

But having it for the sake of having it doesn't interest me, you have to create danger.

At the moment, we are only in the semi-finals, even if it is already a good course.

The secret ?

It takes a combination of many things.

The first is the quality of the players.

You can't get there without this aspect.

It takes collective strength, a state of mind, and sometimes matches go down a notch.

There is no miracle recipe and there is no one way to win.

I adapt every day in order to get the best out of each player for the team.

We will make sure to find the solution.

This team has the ability to defend very well, not all the opponents have found the solution, but we must not reduce it only to the defensive sector, otherwise it would not be in the semi-finals.

It is the team that has defended the best, with a well-defined organization.

I have watched everything, my observers have seen all the matches and there are elements to take into account.

Our objective will be to create difficulties and to score.

If I tell you everything I think, I'm not going to make any friends.

Today, new technologies bring to see more info, on his own team and the adversary.

You have to sort it out.

Me, in the data, I leave a lot of sheets, well I'm from the old school, it's more on the iPad or the phone (smile).

Some data do not interest me, others are more important, there is always a margin of error which is significant compared to the figures which are announced.

This gives an indication, they are there to be confronted with what I could see with my staff during the match.

She does not surprise me.

Between the choice of players, the daily life of the group and the only truth comes from the field.

Some players did not have the experience of the international level, it is the first competition for some, you never know how they may react, especially on an emotional level.

But the executives play their role very well, it creates a very positive dynamic.

It is a pleasure to be with this group.

The best recipe, the best cement, is the matches.

Antoine was very good.

He is a player who has this ability to change the face of the team through what he does, his volume, his technical touch, even if it is in a slightly different role but which suits him very well.

He takes as much pleasure in making a tackle or a pass… His primary role is not to recover, but he has the ability to light up the game with his left paw.

He always thinks collectively, he has an above average generosity.

He has not only had happy moments but he has the mentality, like all great players, to be there when needed.

I have no message.

I am in sport, before and after.

It's a football match and it must remain so despite the history, the passion... Everyone must stay in their place, the players too and that's very good like that.

There was an emotional blockage that held him back in his expression compared to what I see with Bayern.

Through our discussions, I feel him more relaxed, confident, which allows him to show his qualities, he is fast, he is good in the duel, he has a good ability to raise even if he sometimes wants to improve balls which cannot be… He is open, smiling.

There are other players more in the reserve, they need to be given a little more time.

If I am convinced that the potential is there, it must pass at some point.

I don't regret having insisted.

He is more relaxed and masters his subject much better.
