“I think it would be very naive of us to focus solely on him. They are reigning world champions for a reason and we need to focus on them as a whole team.
“They have brilliant players all over the field so we’re not going to focus entirely on him, but it’s an incredible tie to be in and that’s why we’re here.”
France, as Luke Shaw said, have brilliant players across the pitch with Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, Adrien Rabiot, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele among the players who have been impressive for the defending world champions at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. England vs France match begins at 12:30 am Indian Standard Time on December 11.
