Didier Deschamps: Messi played differently four years ago

Didier Deschamps, head coach of the French national football team, is pleased with reaching the final at the second consecutive World Cup.

In the semi-finals, the French won against the Moroccan team (2: 0).

"We showed the team spirit and our high level. It was not an easy game," Deschamps is quoted as saying by TASS.

French mentor added that the team is not worried before the final match against Argentina. He noted that the opponent is different from what it was in 2018. This also applies to striker Lionel Messi.

"Four years ago he played differently and was a clean forward, now he goes deeper and has a great impact on the game," Deschamps said.
