SOUNDBITE: (French) Didier Deschamps, French head coach:

(On the opening match)

"We've been preparing for the last two years now for tomorrow's match, so just because we are getting closer to the big day certainly doesn't mean that we should begin questioning ourselves. We have to begin the competition and this fixture with a lot of desire, determination, generosity and positivity whilst keeping clear minds throughout."

(On opponents Romania)

"Based on recent performances, we mustn't by any means think that they are an ultra-defensive side. They do have a top quality defensive organisation, but they are also able to come out and press the opposition a bit higher and prompt mistakes. They have the ability to knock the opposition off their game."
