France’s momentum not impacted by Tunisia defeat, says Coman

DOHA — France’s 1-0 defeat against Tunisia in their final Group D game will not affect the defending champions’ momentum at the World Cup as they head into a last-16 clash against Poland on Sunday, Kingsley Coman said on Thursday.

Coach Didier Deschamps fielded a secondstring team, having made nine changes from the one that beat Denmark 2-1 in the previous match, and the overall impression was hugely disappointing.

“The most important is that we’re first in the group and we’re focused on the next game,” said Coman. “It has no impact on our momentum, we’ve already turned our sights to the Poland game. Of course we want to win all the matches but it won’t affect our mood.”
