France manager Didier Descamps reacted to the 2-1 win against Denmark in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Speaking to the media after the game, Deschamps told TF1 (via GOAL):
"For us, it's ideal, we have six points so we are sure to qualify after two matches. We will appreciate that before the next game in four days. It brings peace, the assurance that we qualify. We have a very high chance of finishing first (in Group D) because our goal difference is much better than Australia's, so we're in the perfect position. The first objective [of making the knockouts] is achieved. It's never easy, especially in relation to the expectations. This group is strong, solid, and wants to do great things, it has already done two beautiful things with these two victories."
Les Bleus currently have six points on the board after their first two games. The defending world champions became the first team in the tournament to reach the knockout stages.
Deschamps' side will next play Tunisia on November 30 in the final group game of their campaign in Qatar.
