| Griezmann |
France coach Didier Deschamps trusts he is profiting from his choice to "oversee" Antoine Griezmann as Euro 2016 enters the last leg.
Deschamps shockingly left the Atletico Madrid striker, and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, out of Les Bleus' second Group A diversion against Albania after a dull appearing against Romania in the competition opener.
Griezmann ventured off the seat in that diversion to score the first of two late objectives for France, his first of four in the competition so far as he goes from quality to quality to lead the Golden Boot standings in front of the elimination rounds.
France face Germany after a 5-2 win over Iceland — which saw Griezmann score an objective and make two helps, while Olivier Giroud scored twice and Pogba and Dimitri Payet were additionally on target.
Deschamps told L'Equipe: "If [Griezmann] remains the top scorer, it will be a decent sign for us.
"He had a troublesome begin to the opposition after the end of his season, he was somewhat drained. I attempted to oversee him in the initial three diversions.
"Presently, he is fine. He is no more exhausted. He is in his score.
"He is an exceptionally viable player. In fact, he benefits a few things. We will require him in the elimination round."
Deschamps is thinking about whether to again tailor his lineup to the resistance — he coordinated up Iceland's 4-4-2 arrangement, utilizing Moussa Sissoko as a part of a wide midfield part, much as Germany coach Joachim Low picked to copy Italy's back three for their quarterfinal.

"I will take an ideal opportunity to consider it," Deschamps said. "I settled on this decision due to the adversary.
"I am by all account not the only one to change. Joachim Low changed against Italy, moving to a framework with three focal guards, which functioned admirably.
"The Germany group have a decent specialized quality, right from the goalkeeper. When all is said in done, it is they who have ownership of the ball.
"We should adjust. To their qualities, as well as to what we are fit for doing.
"Up to now, aside from Switzerland, we have played against adversaries who were there to shield. The more we can compel Germany to shield, the better."
Germany wiped out France in the World Cup quarterfinal two years prior before going ahead to win the competition in Brazil.
In any case, France chief Hugo Lloris feels neither that match nor those which have gone before in the present competition will have a heading on Thursday's experience in Marseille.
"Each match has its story," he said. "It will be an alternate match through and through against Germany.
"They have more experience than us and are utilized to these matches.
"It will be at the Velodrome, at home, in what could be a warmed environment. It's glorious, we should take advantage of this minute.
"It is not over, we need to proceed with this enterprise."
