Deschamps full of praise for Lewandowski ahead of World Cup clash

France boss Didier Deschamps has been full of praise for Robert Lewandowski ahead of his team’s last 16 clash with Poland at World Cup 2022.

Deschamps spoke about the Barcelona striker ahead of the match and is wary of the threat the 34-year-old will pose his side.

“We must make sure to limit his influence. The fewer balls he has, the less dangerous he will be,” he said.

“Beyond his intelligence, his technical skill, he uses his body very well, even if he has not always had a lot of balls in his first three matches.
