Deschamps said the 23-year-old who has been linked to big money moves is better when he is out of the headlines. "Paul had a difficult first match, he came one in the second and had a very good first half against Switzerland," Deschamps said. "He is ready and needed calm. There is a lot of talk about him but he is still quite young and needs to have tranquility and concentration," the coach added.

Deschamps said Dimitri Payet deserves the star status for his performances. "I am very happy with what Dimitri has done because he is decisive," the coach said. "He takes (the star status) well, he has had a lot of deserved praise but he got back to work at the start of the week to maintain this performance level."
