Intro:

France talk ahead of last 16 clash versus Nigeria.

Script:

(French) France coach Didier Deschamps

"Its not common to plays at one o'clock. So for the last three days we tried to alter our schedule and meal times also as the day unfolds completely differently. The heat is there and we know that Nigeria players are certainly more used to the heat although many of them play in Europe as well."

(French) France goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris

"We have been put in the best possible conditions. For that, there are videos and for our part, we have one more training session left. So we can prepare for everything. But it's obvious that the level of this competition is very high. Things can be decided on details as was seen yesterday in the round of 16 between Brazil and Chile. It was resolved by a penalty shoot-out so you have to be ready for anything but before thinking about a penalty shoot-out there are 90 minutes - and maybe more - and if we can make a difference then it would be better."
