Doha, December 08 (QNA) - In the pre-match conference today, France defender Dayot Upamecano pointed to the need for France players to be thoroughly prepared for Saturday’s match against England. Upamecano, explained that they know the England team well, given that they are "all world class players". Bayern Munich player added that he had been receiving advice from France legend Marcel Desailly, while in training Les Bleus had been practicing defending from set pieces, with today’s training session being based around video analysis. He identified Bukayo Saka as one to watch in the England attack, explaining that "he likes to cut inside. We'll have to make as few errors as possible. We'll be ready." Asked about the prospect of facing Jude Bellingham, the centre-back dismissed that he could be a 'menace' but that he knew him well from facing Borussia Dortmund, and that the England midfielder started to gain experience and would be part of a 'great battle' in the middle of the park with his French counterparts.
