Guy Stéphan: Opponents Will Only Get Stronger From Here On Out

Guy Stéphan, who led France against Norway in the absence of head coach Didier Deschamps, stated that the team played strongly but shouldn't get carried away.

“Our thoughts are with Didier. He will join us tomorrow, and I can’t wait to see him,” Guy Stéphan shared.

“Against Norway, we did what was necessary and secured the win. We enjoyed the game. We created many chances and scored four goals. I’m delighted with Ousmane Dembélé’s hat-trick, as well as Désiré Doué’s goal, who had never scored with his head in his entire career,” the specialist commented.

“The further we advance in the tournament, the tougher our opponents will become. Norway was also a challenge, but we must acknowledge that they didn't play with their starting lineup,” Guy Stéphan added.
