France head coach Didier Deschamps had this to offer ahead of today's European Cup qualifier (via Goal): "When the result is there, it's always good. We met a good team in Spain, even if there are players who are not there. It was a good start [in the first half] and then in the second half, we took over [the game]. We created situations, we scored a valid goal [through Benzema that was ruled offside] then scored a goal after some good build-up play. We showed real quality."
"This [result] is great to keep the mood of the whole group," he added. "This is a very good thing to revive the Stade de France and our fans. It's a great night for us."
For Deschamps, stability will be key for the team's success moving forward.
"It is in continuity with players who have been there for two years. Those who started were all in the World Cup squad," he continued. "There is experience [in the squad]. I have a basic core of players and they are happy to return [when called up to the side]."
Expect the positivity to continue. France will have zero issues dispatching Serbia.
Prediction: Serbia 0-3 France
