"It looks clean because the 2 players are technically complementary.
"They could have a variety of club suits among now and our subsequent conferences. But the combination of these kind of abilties allows the France team to be even more efficient."
Asked about the unbeaten run, he replied: "These are numbers. There are also 13 away fits. This suggests the electricity of this France crew. The best is there with the addition of latest players, young or old.
"It's super to end the calendar year with this victory in Finland."
Reflecting at the yr, Deschamps said: "It is a nice result if I rule out 10 minutes of fatal loss of the Euro.
"We win the Nations League after which we qualify without trembling for the World Cup.
