Ousmane Dembele and France are looking to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup
Ousmane Dembele is currently playing for France against Morocco in the 2022 FIFA World Cup semifinals. There might be some excitement in the Dembele household as Les Bleus are leading the Atlas Lions by a scoreline of 1-0, courtesy of a fifth-minute strike from Theo Hernandez.
Didier Deschamps, meanwhile, is being compared to Vittorio Pozzo, who led Italy to the 1934 and 1938 World Cup titles, as Les Bleus are well on course to become back-to-back world champions. Speaking about the comparison, Deschamps said (via FIFA's official website):
“He is a great man, who achieved great stuff. Good for him, If you want to make a comparison, I have only [reached] the semi-finals so far. We need to think about the semi-final against Morocco.”

Giving his assessment of the Atlas Lions as opponents, Deschamps said:
“They also have some offensive tools, but [with] a defensive base, which is well-organised and very rational. With that they have skill because of attacking players like [Youssef] En-Nesyri, [Hakim] Ziyech or [Sofiane] Boufal, who can create problems for their opponents. They master their craft, just like any other big team that are in the semi-finals. They have the skill to defend very well, for sure. They defend properly."
Ousmane Dembele has bagged two assists in the 2022 World Cup so far, and will hope to add to his tally and help France defend their title.
