It was argued that the game wouldn't go ahead, considering the organised attacks around Paris, happened just four days ago. However, Deschamps and his men will compete at Wembley despite the head coach offering his players the choice to withdraw from the friendly, as France has three days of mourning.
Deschamps explained his appreciation of the support England, as well as other countries from around the world have given and believes that the French players involved tonight, will play with more pride as they represent their country in a time of traumatising events – which also saw midfielder' Lassana Diarra lose a family member, as France played Germany at the Stade De France.
