Deschamps said: "He's still the same Kylian, honestly internally it was good news: itls changed our daily lives, but I understand that the media have spoken."
Deschamps was also asked about Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni and Al-Ittihad's N'Golo Kante.
"First of all one of them is bigger (laughs). They are midfielders, I don't think about their weaknesses. We have seven midfielders, even if Antoine Griezmann is more attacking. The midfield is complementary.
"Kanté scratches the ball, Aurélien perhaps has the quality to pass. I also think Aurélien is a better header. They could also play together."
