France vs. Serbia: Deschamps eyes winning run

France coach Didier Deschamps is looking to build on Friday's win over Portugal with a victory against Serbia on Monday.

Didier Deschamps is hoping France's victory over Portugal will kick-start a winning run in the buildup to Euro 2016.

Euro 2016 host France sealed a 1-0 win in Lisbon on Friday thanks to Mathieu Valbuena's 85th-minute free kick, and the squad welcomes Serbia to Bordeaux on Monday.

Deschamps' side lost back-to-back friendlies against Albania and Belgium in June, but the 1998 World Cup-winning captain believes his team is now back on track.

"Victory is always the best cure for losses, but I had not been worried [about the defeats in June]," Deschamps said.
