Didier Deschamps: "If you have information about Portugal's lineup, I would be happy to hear it"

France head coach Didier Deschamps shared his expectations from the Euro 2024 quarterfinal match against Portugal.

"I have several options to replace Adrien Rabiot, but now is not the moment to talk about it. However, if you have information about Portugal's lineup, I'd love to hear it! It's not my style to make substitutions for the sake of substitutions. Yes, I really haven't made many of them before. The players on the pitch showed no signs of fatigue.

In matches like the one against Portugal, often everything is decided by small details. Both teams have players who can make the difference. There are a lot of great players in this Portugal team, just like in our team. We are one of the best teams in Europe. I'm sure it will be an important game. Historically the matches between us are very tense. At this stage of the tournament there are rarely one-sided games," Deschamps is quoted by UEFA's official website.
