Deschamps praises Martial for 'answering his critics'

French head coach Didier Deschamps believes more to come from Manchester United and France starlet Anthony Martial.

SOUNDBITE: (French) Didier Deschamps, France head coach:
"French authorities confirmed today that the game will in fact go ahead as planned in Nice. The events of the last few days in the South of France have been terrible, people have lost their lives, so we will make sure we pay tribute to the victims and their families during this game."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Didier Deschamps, Head Coach - France:
(on Manchester United's Anthony Martial)
"There was huge expectation on his shoulders from the beginning. He was criticised a lot, but he proved his critics wrong with his performances and with the goals he managed to score. Anthony joined us because I think he has a lot of potential. He is not very outspoken, he is rather discreet, a little shy even, but it does not bother me with players who just joined the national team, it is often like that. It is only logical, he still has many steps to make. He moved to a completely different world by joining Manchester United, a place where he must deliver, where he must perform. Of course, he is in competition with other players, but as for now he is doing very well."
