France had a difficult victory over Austria and drew against the Netherlands and Poland, leaving the team in second place in Group D.
“We know them well. The players know each other well, even if we haven’t played against them for a while. They are a team full of top players who play for the best clubs. So obviously this Belgian team has a strong attacking potential,” said coach Didier Deschamps.
