France coach Didier Deschamps warned against being over confident ahead of his side’s bid to win a second World Cup in three editions.
Deschamps’ team have reached the final of the last two tournaments, lifting the trophy in 2018 before losing on penalties to Argentina four years ago.
Led by star forward Kylian Mbappe, they are one of the favourites for victory in North America for the World Cup from June 11 to July 19.
