Deschamps Must Relieve Pressure on Pogba and Griezmann When France Face Albania

France are back in 2016 UEFA European Championship action on Wednesday when they meet Albania at Marseille's Stade Velodrome for the second round of fixtures in Group A.

Didier Deschamps’ men won the tournament-opening fixture 2-1 against Romania at the Stade de France in Paris last Friday, while the Albanians were beaten 1-0 by Switzerland at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens the following day.

The pressure is off for Les Bleus after they made a winning start to their campaign, so they can now concentrate on picking up a second victory from as many matches and progressing to the latter stages at the first time of asking.
