Didier Deschamps claims France will not give up on attacking philosophy against Sweden

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/france/QkGeVG1n/"]France[/a] topped their group with ‌a perfect nine points, scoring 10 goals against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/senegal/hOIsJLJr/"]Senegal[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/iraq/K8aAGt6r/"]Iraq[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/norway/8rP6JO0H/"]Norway[/a], ‌but their adventurous approach also allowed opponents opportunities.[/p][p]"[b]We have to score one more goal, ‌not give up what we're capable of doing,[/b]" [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/deschamps-didier/M9jPX2nf/"]Deschamps[/a] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/france-QkGeVG1n/sweden-OQyqbHWB/?mid=UN3MMEFl"]told a press ‌conference[/a] on Monday.[/p][p]"[b]We've conceded a few too many chances.

Those who were there pass it on to the rest of the group,[/b]" Rabiot said.[/p][p]"[b]That's why we don't relax and take every match seriously. Against Switzerland we may have been a little superficial and we paid for it. Anything can happen in a single match.[/b]"[/p][p]Rabiot also brushed aside suggestions France could overlook Sweden after an unbeaten group campaign.[/p][p]"[b]Sweden have quality players and a very strong attacking line ‌with world-class players playing for big clubs in the best leagues,[/b]" he said.[/p][p]"[b]We ​know they have quality. We'll take them just as seriously as we ‌took Iraq and Norway.[/b]"[/p][p]Deschamps echoed that warning, highlighting Sweden's athleticism, pace on the counter and threat from set pieces.[/p][p]"[b]They defend with five and they are dangerous when there are spaces,[/b]" he said. "[b]They're also very good from set pieces and long throws. Just look at their front three - they all ⁠play for big clubs.[/b]"[/p][p]France will be ⁠without striker [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/thuram-marcus/hMMX02Fm/"]Marcus Thuram[/a] because ‌of a muscle injury and midfielder [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/kante-n-golo/IkmsHsOR/"]N'Golo Kante[/a] is doubtful.[/p]
