DESCHAMPS THE KEY

Every time France take the field they are reminded of the debacle of 2010, when their campaign disintegrated due to factions in the team. Deschamps, who captained France to glory in 1998, has done a good job to keep together players coming from varied backgrounds and make them play as a team. He has also kept indisciplined players like Karim Benzema out of the team despite his performances at club level to maintain harmony in the squad.
