Deschamps: "It will be a high level match"

The French team challenge Portugal at home on Saturday night on the 5th day of the Nations League. A place in the last four of the event will be at stake. Didier Deschamps, the Blues boss, expects a tactical battle against the Seleçao, "perhaps similar to the first leg". He also has the certainty, despite the many absences recorded, that it will be a very tough duel between two of the best teams in the world.

"Pogba is impacted by what happens to him at MU" Kylian Mbappé, who comes out of a thigh injury, is he fit to play this Saturday?
Is Paul Pogba still essential to the French team?
How can I answer this question? He's not in his best form, obviously. I knew it before and the match against Finland was to be used to give him some rhythm. He knew he would do an hour or less. After that, considering how the game went, it's hard to take the positive away. Paul is not having a good time. And like all players who do not have a positive club situation, beyond the athletic aspect, they are impacted mentally. But, I know him well enough. I don't give him more credit than the others. They know what they are capable of doing, the knowledge of the high level, pride, pride also in being able to respond present. But I have decisions to make having all the elements in relation to the other players as well. But for sure it's far from ideal, seeing what happened between the last meeting and this one, to arrive in the best conditions.
