History was written once again as the war between France and Holland ended in a 0-0 draw. After the match, Deschamps was interviewed and for the result of the match he said his only regret was the efficiency of the team.

It's a really tight game, and unlike in the past, the Dutch team is particularly cautious. And we only have 36 hours of rest compared to our opponents, which is a real challenge for us.

But, on a competitive level, we responded. We recovered as best we could, but the poor results ......

Of course, we can't compare Mbappe to other players. Mbappe is Mbappe, he's unrivaled. We certainly have a strong player in Barcola or he wouldn't be here.

He's been doing quite well in training. But considering he's never played for the national team before, a game like this won't be easy for him. I was hesitant to bring him on at the last minute to change the situation, but we have a well-balanced team and we can create threats as well as defend.

As for Kante, he simply shone and that was a great thing for us. I've got a lot of players who can start, especially in the midfield position, but Kante's ability to go forward is really exciting.
