GERMANY’S experience of playing high-pressure games might give them an edge when they line up against France in a World Cup quarter-final at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana on Friday, French coach Didier Deschamps said on Thursday.
“Germany are very accustomed to this competition,” Deschamps told reporters. “Experience is more on their side, but we will play our game.” France cruised through the group stage of the World Cup in Brazil and then beat Nigeria 2-0 in the first knock-out stage, surprising many fans after Les Bleus only qualified for the tournament via a last-ditch playoff against Ukraine last year.
