The head coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, spoke about the upcoming match with the national team of Belgium in the 4th round of the group stage of the League of Nations. His words are quoted by RMC Sport.

“We will have to face a very motivated Belgium team. It won’t change what happened in the previous matches. We can’t talk about dominance, it’s not like that. Same context, same group… This match will also be part of history.

What happened at the Euro (France’s victory over Belgium 1:0 in the round of 16 – note) is already in the past, we don’t think about it. Now it will be a completely different game, under completely different circumstances. But we, as always, will play only to win.

Belgium is a strong team that plays intense football. It’s hard to keep the game in our hands with them, but that’s what we’ll be aiming for. They also have a good coach, so it will be an interesting duel,” said Deschamps.

On October 14, the French will play against the Belgium national team on the road in the match of the 4th round of the group stage of the League of Nations of Division A. The match starts at 21:45 Kyiv time.
