PARIS. — France are going for a hat-trick of major soccer titles on home territory at Euro 2016 and have a kind draw but coach Didier Deschamps is seeking to douse national expectations.

Les Bleus will face Switzerland, Romania and an Albania side appearing at their first major finals in Group A as they look to add to their 1984 European Championship and the 1998 World Cup titles.

But as anticipation builds ahead of their opening game against Romania on Friday, Deschamps — who lifted the World Cup as a player 18 years ago — knows that his team still have to do the business on the park.

“What is an easy draw? An easy draw is when you have won the matches, that is all!” he told French newspaper La Depeche. — AFP.
