France coach Didier Deschamps and captain Hugo Lloris look ahead to the host nation's second Group A game at Euro 2016 against Albania on Tuesday (14th June).

SOUNDBITE: (French) Didier Deschamps, France coach:

(on Paul Pogba)

"Paul has had good games and bad ones but I don't ask myself if I should use him in the team the same way they do so over there (in Ital with his club Juventus). He's proven he's capable of putting on good performances for France."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Hugo Lloris, France captain:

"We know that there are a lot of things to improve, especially when it comes to ball possession, where there was a lot of... we just were not on point technically, we missed a lot of passes. There was also a little bit of tension, and understandably so because it was the opening match. Now we are fully in the competition and it will be a different game, even though it will be a similar type of match, with a very compact team that will hit shots from far out."
