We showed character and mentality, it was very hard for us tonight. We worked hard defensively, we needed to take advantage a bit more in the counter-attacks but congratulations to my players and my staff.

Today there were imperfections, we did not do everything right but we had those mental and psychological qualities which were decisive for this World Cup.

I have never seen such a World Cup because there was a leveling at the top, the small teams... arrived really well prepared.

Didier Deschamps

Talent is not sufficient. You need the psychological and mental aspects. Any team is then able to climb mountains, sometimes I can be hard very hard with them but I do it for them and even though they are young they usually do listen.

My greatest source of pride is they had they right state of mind, today there were imperfections, we did not do everything right but we had those mental and psychological qualities which were decisive for World Cup.

This is not about me, it's about everyone around me and the players, it's a young team who are on the top of the world. Some are champions at the age of 19, but my greatest source of pride is they had the right state of mind.

Didier Deschamps

We did not play a huge game but we showed mental quality. And we scored four goals anyway. They deserved to win.

How marvelous, it's a young team who are on the top of the world. Some are champions at the age of 19.

It's bizarre because he's French and will be on the opponent's bench, but he is someone I really appreciate, I'm happy for him.

Didier Deschamps

Obviously with two wins we can win or draw and still be number one. But we will try to win. Would never think of finishing second.

Didier Deschamps

We did what we had to do, our intentions were good, everyone defended a lot, there are a lot of positives. The mindset was good, it was a very good performance.
