He said, "It's fully deserved. We're very pleased. We got the information just before we left for the stadium. I’m really delighted for him.

"Now is no time to celebrate, now is the time to stay focused, but of course it's more the feeling, the satisfaction, that he worked so hard...

"I know he wanted this, we had a long chat in Austria at the training camp about the national team, so I'm really pleased for him that he is called up by France."
