France will stick to the attacking style that powered them through the group stage when they face Sweden in the last 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday, coach Didier Deschamps has said.
Les Bleus reached the knockout rounds with a perfect record of nine points, scoring 10 goals against Senegal, Iraq and Norway, although their adventurous approach also allowed opponents to create several chances.
Speaking ahead of the clash, Deschamps made it clear France would not sacrifice their attacking identity despite concerns over their defensive vulnerability.
“We have to score one more goal, not give up what we’re capable of doing,” Deschamps told reporters, according to Reuters.
