The France coach is not taking Friday’s friendly against the Asian champions lightly and is expecting a stern test from the visitors
The 43-year-old believes that Samurai Blue will test his side to the limits when both sides meet at Stade de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 this Friday in an international friendly.
The coach is looking forward to the clash against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 four days later.
Didier Deschamps, who took the reins of the French national side in the summer following the resignation of Laurent Blanc from the post, has warned his players to take the game against Japan seriously as it will help them a lot ahead of the clash against
Spain.
While talking to reporters, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 coach stated that Japan are a well organised team and they are capable of causing Les Bleus all kinds of trouble on Friday.
"I don't know if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Japan-c2928 play in a particular way, it's just a well-organised and rigorous team,"
Praising the opposing team, Deschamps said that Samurai Blue can play with strong intensity and they are really good when it comes to collective efforts on the pitch.
“It's a team which collectively can produce a lot of sprints during a game, they play with strong intensity, so collectively when they don't have the ball, everybody runs, they defend all together.”
The France coach expects the visitors to play defensively on Friday and added that his side will be ready for the challenge.
"We'll have the ball with a lot of defenders in front of us, deep on the pitch. We are prepared. We often play these kinds of games.”
The former Monaco coach said that Les Bleus will look to score early in the game and will try to dominate form the very start. Scoring as many goals as possible on Friday is France’s priority, but Deschamps has urged the men in blue to be careful against
the Asian Champions.
"We'll put them under pressure, we'll try to score as many goals as we can, but we have to be careful.”
