Wenger is convinced that Didier Deschamps’ side are the team to beat as they head to the United States. With a squad depth that remains the envy of world football, the former Gunners boss believes France possess a level of “power” that other nations simply cannot match over 90 minutes, especially with the tactical experience of their long-serving head coach.
“I put them above the others. France have so much talent and Deschamps has experience,” Wenger noted. “We have so many attacking players that the danger is being a little unbalanced offensively. But today, the modern player, even an attacking one, knows how to do his share of the defensive work. When you’re 0-0 against France with 20 minutes to go, you lose the match. Power makes the difference.”
