Deschamps: I think France s new system is very good, and it is very important to maintain an offensive and defensive balance.

Hupu September 6th, French national team head coach Didier Deschamps was interviewed by French TV One after the game against Ukraine 2-0.

talks about the competition and the state of France.

"We controlled well in the first half, and it was logical that we should have scored at least one more goal. We were a little hesitant at the time, but fortunately, we handled it well twice.

With our existing offensive firepower, we could have scored more goals, but it has never been an easy task to play against this strong Ukrainian team. I think we were a little worried about gains and losses, and we did not do well in some places.

Of course, in the end, it feels very good to start this qualifier with this victory."

Is the first half the France he hopes to see? And the team's status issues.

"Yes. In the second leg against Croatia in March, we also used this system to achieve some very good results, although we lost too much balls against Spain.

It is very important to maintain a better balance. We did this, even if our offensive intensity dropped in the second half. We physically declined, but Ukraine was behind after all, so there is room for adjustment.

We put in a lot of effort. We also lacked aggressiveness in regaining the ball. But this is always a problem. It is good to press high, but it also consumes physical strength."
