France manager Didier Deschamps feels his side have started to find their rhythm again after the world champions saw off Andorra 3-0 in Saint-Denis to stay on course for Euro 2020 qualification.
With Turkey also winning, 4-0 away in Moldova, Les Bleus are kept off the top of Group H on head-to-head record.
“The score could have been wider and we could have had better efficiency, that is right,” Deschamps said at a press conference.
“But we still scored three goals anyway and left nothing for the opponent, who were more compact than Albania.
“We have found solutions. Obviously, the more efficiency we have, the better.
“But we scored seven goals in two games – these are things which did not happen before.”
“It is good that those who were involved could show what they can do, even if I prefer to have everyone available,” the France manager added.
“I hope that will be the case at future gatherings. The desire is there, the pleasure of playing together too.
“From the bench also, I enjoy watching them evolve. There is a common thread, and this is a very interesting idea.”
France captain Hugo Lloris, the Tottenham goalkeeper, told reporters afterwards: “Even though we had a lot of absentees, it is still important to feel strong as a group.
“It was important to take those six points, and to position ourselves for the two decisive matches in October.”
